Translation

Then I seized the ones who disbelieved, and how [terrible] was My reproach.

But despite that, they disbelieved in Allah and His messengers and they did not accept what they brought from Him, so I destroyed those who disbelieved. So think, O Messenger, how terrible my punishment was when I destroyed them.
