تفسير : (ye cannot) o people of mecca (escape) from his torment (in the earth) from the people of earth (or in the sky) or from the dwellers of the sky, (and beside allah) beside allah's punishment (there is for you no friend) to benefit you (nor helper) to save you from allah's torment.

تفسير : and you will never be able to thwart [him], your lord [and prevent him] from catching up with you, on earth, or in the heaven, were you to be in it, in other words, you cannot elude him; and you do not have besides god, that is, other than him, any guardian, to defend you against him, or any helper, to help you [escape] from his chastisement.
