قُلْ إِنَّمَآ أُنذِرُكُم بِٱلْوَحْىِ ۚ وَلَا يَسْمَعُ ٱلصُّمُّ ٱلدُّعَآءَ إِذَا مَا يُنذَرُونَ Qur’an Al-Anbiya (21:45)
Qul innam a on th irukum bi a lwa h yi wal a yasmaAAu a l ss ummu a l dduAA a a i tha m a yun th aroon a
SAY [unto all men]: "I but warn you on the strength of divine revelation!"But the deaf [of heart] will not hearken to this call, however often they are warned.56
  - Mohammad Asad
Mohammad Asad

Lit., "whenever they are warned".

Tell them, "I am warning you on the authority of Revelation," but the deaf choose not to listen the call when they are warned!
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Say, 'O Prophet,' 'I warn you only by revelation.' But the deaf cannot hear the call when they are warned!
  - Mustafa Khattab
Mustafa Khattab
Say (O Muhammad, unto mankind): I warn you only by the Inspiration. But the deaf hear not the call when they are warned.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Marmaduke Pickthall
Say "I do but warn you according to revelation": but the deaf will not hear the call (even) when they are warned! 2706
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

According to the English saying: "none is so deaf as those who will not hear". When they deliberately shut their ears to warning from the Merciful Allah, meant for their own good, the responsibility is their own. But their cowardice is shown in the next verse by their behaviour when the first breath of the Wrath reaches them.
