Sam Gerrans - The Qur'an: A Complete Revelation

Those who oppose God and His messenger will be abased even as those before them were abased. And We have sent down clear proofs; and for the false claimers of guidance is a humiliating punishment.

اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ يُحَٓادُّونَ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُولَهُ كُبِتُوا كَمَا كُبِتَ الَّذ۪ينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ وَقَدْ اَنْزَلْـنَٓا اٰيَاتٍ بَيِّنَاتٍۜ وَلِلْكَافِر۪ينَ عَذَابٌ مُه۪ينٌۚ
