وَإِن
كَادُوا
لَيَسْتَفِزُّونَكَ
مِنَ
الْأَرْضِ
لِيُخْرِجُوكَ
مِنْهَا
وَإِذًا
لَّا
يَلْبَثُونَ
خِلَافَكَ
إِلَّا
قَلِيلًا

Their purpose was to scare thee off the land, in order to expel thee; but in that case they would not have stayed (therein) after thee, except for a little while.
— Abdullah Yusufali
They were about to hound you out of the land, to expel you from it, but then they would not have stayed after you but a little.
