وَلَقَدِ And certainly ٱسْتُهْزِئَ were mocked بِرُسُلٍۢ Messengers مِّن from قَبْلِكَ before you فَأَمْلَيْتُ but I granted respite لِلَّذِينَ to those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieved ثُمَّ then أَخَذْتُهُمْ ۖ I seized them فَكَيْفَ and how كَانَ was عِقَابِ My penalty ٣٢
And already were [other] messengers ridiculed before you, and I extended the time of those who disbelieved; then I seized them, and how [terrible] was My penalty.
