بَلْ عَجِبْتَ وَيَسْخَرُونَ Qur’an As-Saffat (37:12)
Bal AAajibta wayaskharoon a
Nay, but whereas thou cost marvel,8 they [only] scoff;
  - Mohammad Asad
Mohammad Asad

I.e., at God's creative power as well as at the blind arrogance of those who deny it.

You marvel at the wonders of Allah's creation, while they ridicule at it.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
In fact, you are astonished 'by their denial', while they ridicule 'you'.
  - Mustafa Khattab
Mustafa Khattab
Nay, but thou dost marvel when they mock
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Marmaduke Pickthall
Truly dost thou marvel while they ridicule 4042
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

It is indeed strange that unregenerate man should forget, on the one hand, his lowly-origin, and on the other hand, his high Destiny, as conferred upon him by the grace and mercy of Allah. The indictment of him here comprises four counts: (1) they ridicule the teaching of Truth; (2) instead of profiting by admonition, they pay no heed; (3) when Allah's Signs are brought home to them, they ridicule them as much as they ridiculed the teaching of Truth: and (4) when they have to acknowledge incontestable facts, they give them false names like "sorcery", which imply fraud or something which has no relation to their life, although the facts touch the inner springs of their life intimately.
