But whereas they sought to do evil unto him, We [frustrated their designs, and thus] brought them low?

(This failing), they then sought a stratagem against him, but We made them the ones most humiliated!

And they designed a snare for him, but We made them the undermost.

And they designed a plan against him, but We brought them low.

And they intended for him a plan, but We made them the most debased.
