لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُسْتَكْبِرِينَ
L a jarama anna All a ha yaAAlamu m a yusirroona wam a yuAAlinoona innahu l a yu h ibbu almustakbireen a
Truly, God knows all that they keep secret as well as all that they bring into the open - [and,] behold, He does not love those who are given to arrogance,
  - Mohammad Asad
Allah surely knows what they conceal and what they reveal; certainly He does not love the arrogant.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Without a doubt, Allah knows what they conceal and what they reveal. He certainly does not like those who are too proud.
  - Mustafa Khattab
Assuredly Allah knoweth that which they keep hidden and that which they proclaim. Lo! He loveth not the proud.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Undoubtedly Allah doth know what they conceal and what they reveal: verily He loveth not the arrogant. 2046
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Cf. xvi, 19, where the same words refer to man generally. Whether he conceals or reveals what is in his heart, Allah knows it, and as Allah is Oft-Forgiving. Most Merciful, His grace is available as His highest favour if man will take it. Here the reference is to those who "refuse to know", who reject Allah's guidance out of arrogance. Allah "loveth not the arrogant". Such men deprive themselves of Allah's grace.
