Translation

And fear a trial which will not strike those who have wronged among you exclusively, and know that Allah is severe in penalty.

Verse interpretation (Tafsir)

Beware of suffering that does not only reach those who do wrong among you, but reaches you and others as well. This is when disobedience becomes widespread and is not prevented. Be sure that Allah is strong with the punishment for those who go against Him, so beware of opposing Him.
