إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا فِىٓ أَعْنَـٰقِهِمْ أَغْلَـٰلًا فَهِىَ إِلَى ٱلْأَذْقَانِ فَهُم مُّقْمَحُونَ

Indeed, We have put shackles on their necks, and they are to their chins, so they are with heads [kept] aloft.

— Saheeh International

[It is as if] We had placed [iron] collars around their necks, right up to their chins so that their heads are forced up

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

Verily We have put on their necks iron collars reaching to the chins, so that their heads are raised up.

— Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
