The Angels
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE[35:43]
their arrogant behaviour on earth, and their devising of evil [arguments against God’s messages].
Yet [in the end,] such evil scheming will engulf none but its authors; and can they expect anything but [to be made to go] the way of those [sinners] of olden times?
Thus [it is]: no change wilt thou ever find in God’s way; yea, no deviation wilt thou ever find in God’s way!

* v.43 : I.e., fallacious arguments meant to disparage those messages and to “disprove” their divine origin (cf. 10:21 or 34:33 and the corresponding notes on the Qur’anic use of the term makr in this sense).
* I.e., the way (sunnah) in which God has punished them.
