Verse 82

وَأَصْبَحَ And began ٱلَّذِينَ those who تَمَنَّوْا۟ (had) wished مَكَانَهُۥ his position بِٱلْأَمْسِ the day before يَقُولُونَ (to) say وَيْكَأَنَّ Ah! That ٱللَّهَ Allah يَبْسُطُ extends ٱلرِّزْقَ the provision لِمَن for whom يَشَآءُ He wills مِنْ of عِبَادِهِۦ His slaves وَيَقْدِرُ ۖ and restricts it لَوْلَآ If not أَن that مَّنَّ Allah had favored ٱللَّهُ Allah had favored عَلَيْنَا [to] us لَخَسَفَ He would have caused it to swallow us بِنَا ۖ He would have caused it to swallow us وَيْكَأَنَّهُۥ Ah! That لَا not يُفْلِحُ will succeed ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ the disbelievers ٨٢

And those who had wished for his position the previous day began to say, "Oh, how Allāh extends provision to whom He wills of His servants and restricts it! If not that Allāh had conferred favor on us, He would have caused it to swallow us. Oh, how the disbelievers do not succeed!"
