Beguile, Thwarted, Empty Talk, Thoughtless, Dignity

Al-Mu'minun (The Believers) 23:3

وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنِ اللَّغْوِ مُعْرِضُونَ

Al-Baqara (The Cow) 2:83

وَإِذْ أَخَذْنَا مِيثَاقَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لاَ تَعْبُدُونَ إِلاَّ اللّهَ وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَاناً وَذِي الْقُرْبَى وَالْيَتَامَى وَالْمَسَاكِينِ وَقُولُواْ لِلنَّاسِ حُسْناً وَأَقِيمُواْ الصَّلاَةَ وَآتُواْ الزَّكَاةَ ثُمَّ تَوَلَّيْتُمْ إِلاَّ قَلِيلاً مِّنكُمْ وَأَنتُم مِّعْرِضُونَ

AND LO! We accepted this solemn pledge from [you,] ' the children of Israel:  "You shall worship none but God; and you shall do good unto your parents and kinsfolk, and the orphans, and the poor; and you shall speak unto all people in a kindly way; and you shall be constant in prayer; and you shall spend in charity. And yet, save for a few of you, you turned away: for you are obstinate folk!
