8:59

وَلَا يَحْسَبَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ سَبَقُوٓا۟ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ لَا يُعْجِزُونَ

walā yaḥsabanna alladhīna kafarū sabaqū innahum lā yuʿ'jizūna

And let not those who disbelieve think they will escape. Indeed, they will not cause failure [to Allāh].

— Saheeh International

The disbelievers should not think they have won; they cannot escape.

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

And let not those who disbelieve think that they can outstrip (escape from the punishment). Verily, they will never be able to save themselves (from Allâh’s Punishment).

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