تفسير : (that) torment (is because they have chosen the life of the world) they preferred this worldly life (rather than the hereafter) and chose disbelief instead of faith, (and because allah guideth not) to his religion nor save them from his torment (the disbelieving folk) who do not deserve it.

تفسير : that, threat [of chastisement] for them, is because they have preferred the life of this world, they have chosen it [in preference], to the hereafter, and because god does not guide the disbelieving folk.
