الَّتِي لَيْسَ لَهَا قَائِدٌ أَوْ عَرِيفٌ أَوْ مُتَسَلِّطٌ،Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,Proverbs 6:7, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
وَلَمَّا عَرَفَ مِنْ قَائِدِ الْمِئَةِ، وَهَبَ الْجَسَدَ لِيُوسُفَ.And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.Mark 15:45, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
وَتَثِقُ أَنَّكَ قَائِدٌ لِلْعُمْيَانِ، وَنُورٌ لِلَّذِينَ فِي الظُّلْمَةِ،And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,Romans 2:19, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
