Quran 71:13-20 – Switch Speakers
What has come upon you that you do not expect any majesty of your Lord14 even though He made you by making you pass through many stages of creation15 – Do16 you not see how God has made seven heavens one above the other and made the moon a light therein and the sun a lamp? And [do you not see that] God has grown you from the earth in such an elaborate way?17 Then to the earth He returns you and then He will suddenly bring you forth from it without any effort.18 And [do you not see that] God has spread out the earth for you as a spreading that you may walk in its spacious passes [that lie between the mountains].” 19 (13-20)
16. From here onwards, the words of the Prophet Noah (sws) are interposed by those of the Almighty. These words from Him are meant to complete the speech of Noah (sws). The indication for this is that after them, the next paragraph once again begins by the words قَالَ نُوحٌ. These words would have been needless in the absence of this interposition.
Why is it that it was only from this specific point that it was chosen to say that nuh عليه السلام ‘s words end and Allah’s start?

It is discerned by the translator with his insight and his taste of the style of the speaker. The tone get different from this point.
