they, too, gave the lie to all Our messages: and thereupon We took them to task as only the Almighty, who determines all things, can take to task.

The (people) rejected all Our Signs; but We seized them with such Penalty (as comes) from One Exalted in Power, able to carry out His Will.

Who denied Our revelations, every one. Therefore We grasped them with the grasp of the Mighty, the Powerful.

And certainly We have made the Qur'an easy to remember, but is there any one who will mind?

They denied Our signs, all of them, so We seized them with a seizure of one Exalted in Might and Perfect in Ability.
