P: Then we gave you once again your turn against them, and We aided you
with wealth and children and made you more in soldiery.

S: Then We gave you back the turn to prevail against them, and aided you

Y: If ye did well, ye did well for yourselves; if ye did evil, (ye did
it) against yourselves. So when the second of the warnings came to
pass, (We permitted your enemies) to disfigure your faces, and to enter
your Temple as they had entered it before, and to visit with

have made hell a prison for the unbelievers.
