However, ere [We condemn them to] that supreme suffering, We shall most certainly let them taste of a suffering closer at hand, so that they might [repent and] mend their ways.
And indeed We will make them taste of the Penalty of this (life) prior to the supreme Penalty, in order that they may (repent and) return.
And verily We make them taste the lower punishment before the greater, that haply they may return.
And certainly We will make them taste the nearer punishment before the greater chastisement, that haply they may turn.
And we will surely let them taste the nearer punishment short of the greater punishment that perhaps they will repent.
