Sad Verse 55

This [is so]. But the transgressors will surely have a worst return:

This: and verily for the exorbitant there shall be an evil retreat:

Yea, such! but - for the wrong-doers will be an evil place of (Final) Return!-

This (for the virtuous); but for the transgressors the evil destination,

This is for the virtuous; and indeed for the rebellious is a wretched destination.
