وَلَقَدْ أَخَذْنَـٰهُم بِٱلْعَذَابِ فَمَا ٱسْتَكَانُوا۟ لِرَبِّهِمْ وَمَا يَتَضَرَّعُونَ Qur’an Al-Muminun (23:76)
Walaqad akha th n a hum bi a lAAa tha bi fam a istak a noo lirabbihim wam a yata d arraAAoon a
And, indeed, We tested them46 through suffering, but they did not abase themselves before their Sustainer; and they will never humble themselves
  - Mohammad Asad
Mohammad Asad

Lit., "We took them to task".

for even now, when We have inflicted punishment on them, they have neither submitted to their Rabb nor humbled themselves towards Him.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
And We have already seized them with torment, but they never humbled themselves to their Lord, nor did they 'submissively' appeal 'to Him'.
  - Mustafa Khattab
Mustafa Khattab
Already have We grasped them with punishment, but they humble not themselves unto their Lord, nor do they pray,
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Marmaduke Pickthall
We inflicted Punishment on them but they humbled not themselves to their Lord nor do they submissively entreat (Him)! 2922
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Some Commentators understand the battle of Badr to be meant here; if so, this particular verse would be of the Madinah period. But it is better to understand it as referring to the same "distress" as in the preceding verse, or to punishments in general, which obstinate sinners refuse to take as warnings given to them to mend their ways and turn in repentance to Allah.
