Or do those who do evil deeds (and persecute the believers) reckon that they can frustrate Us and escape Our punishment? How evil is the judgment they have reached
Or do those who do bad deeds think they can outrun Us... What bad judgment they have!
Sayyed Abbas Sadr-Ameli
Or do those who practise evil imagine that they will outstrip Us? Evil is it that they judge
Al-muntakhab fi tafsir al-Qur'an al-Karim
Or do those who consume their life in wrong-doing think they shall escape Our notice and consequently Our retributive punishment! How irrationally do they think and erroneously do they judge
