And those who do wrong will come to know by what overturning they will be overturned.

Yusuf Ali : Except those who believe, work righteousness, engage much in the remembrance of Allah, and defend themselves after they are unjustly attacked. And soon will the unjust assailants know what vicissitudes their affairs will take!
