Punishment Delayed
If We delay their punishment for a time, they will say, “What holds it back?” But when it comes, it will not be averted, and what they mocked will surround them.
11:8And if We delay for them the doom until a reckoned time, they will surely say: What withholdeth it? Verily on the day when it cometh unto them, it cannot be averted from them, and that which they derided will surround them.
45:33And the evils of what they did will appear unto them, and that which they used to deride will befall them.
