رَأَوُا
الْعَذَابَ
وَقُضِيَ
بَيْنَهُم
بِالْقِسْطِ
وَهُمْ
لَا

Every soul that hath sinned, if it possessed all that is on earth, would fain give it in ransom: They would declare (their) repentance when they see the penalty: but the judgment between them will be with justice, and no wrong will be done unto them.
— Abdullah Yusufali
Were any soul that has done wrong to possess whatever there is on the earth, it would surely offer it for ransom. They will hide their remorse when they sight the punishment; and judgement will be made between them with justice and they will not be wronged.
