Although before it came down they were despondent.

and indeed they had been despondent earlier, before it was sent down upon them.

Although they had lost hope before it was sent down upon them.

although before it was sent down on them before that they had been in despair.

And certainly they were, before [that] it was sent down upon them, [before it], surely in despair.

Even though before it was sent down upon them, before that, they were surely despairing.

And verily before that (rain), just before it was sent down upon them, they were in despair!

although before that they were given to despair.

at the rainfall, though before that they had been in despair.

Though they were before this, before it was sent down upon them, confounded in sure despair.

Though before that, even before it was sent down upon them, they were in despair.

though before its coming they had despaired.

Although they were, before it was sent down upon them - before that, in despair.

Although they were before this—before it was sent down upon them—in despair.

though before that, before it was sent down upon them, they were in despair.

Even though, before they received (the rain) - just before this - they were dumb with despair!
