[3:11] As the way of Pharoah's folk, and the people before them, who denied Our signs; God seized them for their sins; God is severe in retribution.
They persisted in insolence according to their way (sunna) and We caused them to meet retribution according to Our way (sunna). From persisting [in insolence] they would not stop (fa-lā ʿan al-iṣrār aqlaʿū) and for good deeds they had no desire (wa-lā fī'l-mabārri ?amiʿū). By my life they are those who suffered regret and distress at what they put forward, but by that time they found the door blocked (wajadū'l-bāb masdūdan) and their repentance rejected (wa'l-nadama ʿalayhim mardūdan).
