n account of (the fate of) the towns which We relate to you;
of them are some that stand and (others) mown down.

Y: It was not We that wronged them: They wronged their own souls: the
deities, other than Allah, whom they invoked, profited them no whit
when there issued the decree of thy Lord: Nor did they add aught (to
their lot) but perdition!

P: We wronged them not, but they did wrong themselves; and their gods on
whom they call beside Allah availed them naught when came thy Lord's
command; they added to them naught save ruin.

S: And We did not do them injustice, but they were unjust to themselves,
so their gods whom they called upon besides Allah did not avail them

Y: Such is the chastisement of thy Lord when He chastises communities in
the midst of their wrong: grievous, indeed, and severe is His

Y: Nor shall We delay it but for a term appointed.

P: And We defer it only to a term already reckoned.

S: And We do not delay it but to an appointed term.

Y: The day it arrives, no soul shall speak except by His leave: of those
(gathered) some will be wretched and some will be blessed.

P: On the day when it cometh no soul will speak except by His
permission; some among them will be wretched, (others) glad.

S: On the day when it shall come, no soul shall speak except with His
permission, then (some) of them shall be unhappy and (others) happy.
