وَلَوْ
نَشَاءُ
لَمَسَخْنَاهُمْ
عَلَى
مَكَانَتِهِمْ
فَمَا
اسْتَطَاعُوا
مُضِيًّا
وَلَا
يَرْجِعُونَ

And if it had been Our Will, We could have transformed them (to remain) in their places; then should they have been unable to move about, nor could they have returned (after error).
— Abdullah Yusufali
And had We wished We would have deformed them in their place; then they would neither have been able to move ahead nor to return.
