وَلَقَدْ And certainly ذَرَأْنَا We have created لِجَهَنَّمَ for Hell كَثِيرًۭا many مِّنَ of ٱلْجِنِّ the jinn وَٱلْإِنسِ ۖ and men لَهُمْ For them قُلُوبٌۭ (are) hearts لَّا (but) not يَفْقَهُونَ they understand بِهَا with them وَلَهُمْ and for them أَعْيُنٌۭ (are) eyes لَّا (but) not يُبْصِرُونَ they see بِهَا with them وَلَهُمْ and for them ءَاذَانٌۭ (are) ears لَّا (but) not يَسْمَعُونَ they hear بِهَآ ۚ with them أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ Those كَٱلْأَنْعَـٰمِ (are) like cattle بَلْ nay هُمْ they أَضَلُّ ۚ (are) more astray أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ Those هُمُ they ٱلْغَـٰفِلُونَ (are) the heedless ١٧٩

And We have certainly created for Hell many of the jinn and mankind. They have hearts with which they do not understand, they have eyes with which they do not see, and they have ears with which they do not hear. Those are like livestock; rather, they are more astray. It is they who are the heedless.
