Quote:
{40:27} But Moses said, "Indeed, I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord from every arrogant one who does not believe in the Day of Account."

I suggest,
{40:27} But Moses said, "Verily, I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord from every arrogant one who does not believe in the Day of Account."
