وَقَضَيْنَا
إِلَى
بَنِي
إِسْرَائِيلَ
فِي
الْكِتَابِ
لَتُفْسِدُنَّ
فِي
الْأَرْضِ
مَرَّتَيْنِ
وَلَتَعْلُنَّ
عُلُوًّا
كَبِيرًا
wa-qaḍaynā ʾilā banī ʾisrāʾīla fī l-kitābi la-tufsidunna fī l-ʾarḍi marratayni wa-la-taʿlunna ʿuluwwan kabīran
And We gave (Clear) Warning to the Children of Israel in the Book, that twice would they do mischief on the earth and be elated with mighty arrogance (and twice would they be punished)!
— Abdullah Yusufali
We revealed to the Children of Israel in the Book: ‘Twice you will cause corruption on the earth, and you will perpetrate great tyranny.’
