Taste
فَذُوقُواْ عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ ٣٩
Now taste My punishment after My warnings.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
“So taste My punishment and warnings.”
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this is either the punishment descending with these words, or a figurative address expressing what they deserved.
Reflect
Stay away today from something whose taste you’d later regret.
