مَن يَأْتِيهِ عَذَابٌ يُخْزِيهِ وَيَحِلُّ عَلَيْهِ عَذَابٌ مُّقِيمٌ
Man yateehi AAa tha bun yukhzeehi waya h illu AAalayhi AAa tha bun muqeem un
who it is that shall be visited [in this world] by suffering which will cover him with ignominy,42 and upon whom long-lasting suffering shall alight [in the life to come]!"
  - Mohammad Asad

Lit., "suffering ('adhab) that will disgrace him": implying that surrender to false values inevitably leads to man's spiritual decay and, if persisted in by many, to social catastrophes and widespread suffering.

as to whom shall come the disgraceful scourge and who shall get the everlasting punishment."
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
who will be visited by a humiliating torment 'in this life' and overwhelmed by an everlasting punishment 'in the next'.'
  - Mustafa Khattab
Who it is unto whom cometh a doom that will abase him, and on whom there falleth everlasting doom.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
"Who it is to whom come a Penalty of ignominy and on whom descends a Penalty that abides." 4303
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Cf. xi, 93. The two clauses, about those who suffer a Penalty of ignominy and those on whom descends a lasting Penalty, apparently refer to the same persons in two different aspects: (1) they suffer shame, and (2) their punishment endures.
