كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا كُلِّهَا فَأَخَذْنَـٰهُمْ أَخْذَ عَزِيزٍ مُّقْتَدِرٍ
Ka thth aboo bi a y a tin a kullih a faakha th n a hum akh th a AAazeezin muqtadir in
they, too, gave the lie to all Our messages: and thereupon We took them to task as only the Almighty, who determines all things, can take to task.22
  - Mohammad Asad

Lit., "We gripped them with the grip of an almighty . . .", etc. The special - and concluding - mention of "Pharaoh's folk" is due to the fact that the Egyptians were the most highly developed and powerful nation in the antiquity to which this and the preceding passages refer.

They disbelieved all Our signs. Consequently, We seized them the way a mighty powerful competent would seize.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
'But' they rejected all of Our signs, so We seized them with the 'crushing' grip of the Almighty, Most Powerful.
  - Mustafa Khattab
Who denied Our revelations, every one. Therefore We grasped them with the grasp of the Mighty, the Powerful.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
The (people) rejected all Our Signs; but We seized them with such Penalty (as comes) from One Exalted in Power able to carry out His Will.
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
