Such has been God's way with those who [sinned in like manner and] passed away aforetime - and never wilt thou find any change in God's way!

(Such was) the practice (approved) of God among those who lived aforetime: No change wilt thou find in the practice (approved) of God.

That was the way of Allah in the case of those who passed away of old; thou wilt not find for the way of Allah aught of power to change.

That was the way of Allah concerning those who have gone before; and thou wilt find no change in the way of Allah.

[This is] the established way of Allah with those who passed on before; and you will not find in the way of Allah any change.
