Verse 129

وَلَن And never تَسْتَطِيعُوٓا۟ will you be able أَن to تَعْدِلُوا۟ deal justly بَيْنَ between ٱلنِّسَآءِ [the] women وَلَوْ even if حَرَصْتُمْ ۖ you desired فَلَا but (do) not تَمِيلُوا۟ incline كُلَّ (with) all ٱلْمَيْلِ the inclination فَتَذَرُوهَا and leave her (the other) كَٱلْمُعَلَّقَةِ ۚ like the suspended one وَإِن And if تُصْلِحُوا۟ you reconcile وَتَتَّقُوا۟ and fear (Allah) فَإِنَّ then indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah كَانَ is غَفُورًۭا Oft-Forgiving رَّحِيمًۭا Most Merciful ١٢٩

And you will never be able to be equal [in feeling] between wives, even if you should strive [to do so]. So do not incline completely [toward one] and leave another hanging. And if you amend [your affairs] and fear Allāh - then indeed, Allāh is ever Forgiving and Merciful.
