English Translation
33Yes, such is the punishment in this world. And the punishment in the Hereafter is far greater. If only they had known.
Explanatory translation
33This is how We punish those who transgress and grow insolent. Such is the punishment We send in this world to test unjust people who have strayed from the right path, and such is the punishment that awaits the sinners. Sometimes it comes through the burning of a vineyard or a garden, and sometimes through the loss of a life or of a loved one. This is the punishment, in the life of this world, of those who do not take Allah into account. But know well that the real punishment of the Hereafter that the sinners will suffer is not temporary; it lasts forever, and it is of course far more severe. If only they knew this truth, they would keep away from sins just as they keep away from fire.
