From a fully vowelled text
وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَأَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لاَ تُقَاوِمُوا الشَّرَّ، بَلْ مَنْ لَطَمَكَ عَلَى خَدِّكَ الأَيْمَنِ فَحَوِّلْ لَهُ الآخَرَ أَيْضًا.But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.Matthew 5:39, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
وَلكِنْ لَمْ يَشَإِ الرَّبُّ إِلهُكَ أَنْ يَسْمَعَ لِبَلْعَامَ، فَحَوَّلَ لأَجْلِكَ الرَّبُّ إِلهُكَ اللَّعْنَةَ إِلَى بَرَكَةٍ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلهَكَ قَدْ أَحَبَّكَ.Nevertheless the LORD thy God would not hearken unto Balaam; but the LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because the LORD thy God loved thee.Deuteronomy 23:5, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
