But you went back (on your word), and but for the mercy and grace of God you were lost.
Then after that, you turned away; and were it not for the munificence of Allah and His mercy, you would be among the losers.
Then you turned away thereafter, and but for the bounty and mercy of God towards you, you had been of the losers.
And you turned away after that-! And had it not been for God's favour upon you and His grace, you would surely have found yourselves among the lost;
Then ye turned away there after; so had not the grace of Allah been unto you and His mercy, ye had surely become of the losers.
Then after that you turned away. Had it not been for the Grace and Mercy of Allah upon you, indeed you would have been among the losers.
But after that you turned away. Were it not for God’s grace and mercy towards you, you would have been among the losers.
But even after that you forsook the Covenant: nevertheless Allah did not withhold His grace and mercy from you; otherwise you would have been utterly ruined long before this.
Then after that you turned away. Had it not been for the grace and mercy of Allah upon you, indeed you would have been among the losers.
Then, even after that, ye turned away, and if it had not been for the grace of Allah and His mercy ye had been among the losers.
Again you turned away after that; and were it not for Allah’s grace on you and His mercy, you would have surely been among the losers.
yet after that you turned away, but for the Grace of Allah and His Mercy you would have surely been among the losers.
Then you turned away after that. And if not for the favor of Allah upon you and His mercy, you would have been among the losers.
Again you turned away. Had God's Grace and His Mercy not existed in your favor, you would certainly have been lost.
Then you turned back after that; so were it not for the grace of Allah and His mercy on you, you would certainly have been among the losers.

Yet after that you turned away, and but for God's grace and mercy, you would have surely been among the losers.
But ye turned back thereafter: Had it not been for the Grace and Mercy of Allah to you, ye had surely been among the lost.
ثُمَّ تَوَلَّيْتُم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ فَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهُۥ لَكُنتُم مِّنَ ٱلْخَٰسِرِينَ
Yet after making a firm promise, you broke the contract and rebelled. If it had not been for Allah’s favour in His tolerance towards you, and His mercy, accepting when you asked for forgiveness, then you would be among the losers because of your turning away and rebellion.

<p>The Israelites went against the Covenant they had made with Allah. The sin was so grave that one could have expected utter destruction and ruin to descend on them as a punishment. But Allah, in His mercy, spared them in so far as physical life is concerned, although they will have to pay for their treason in the other world. Allah's mercy is of two kinds. One is general and extends to believers and disbelievers alike -- its action is to be seen in the shape of worldly well-being and prosperity. The other is special, and pertains to believers alone -- it will manifest itself particularly in the other world in the shape of salvation and closeness to Allah.</p><p>It appears that the last phrase of the present verse has been addressed to the Jews who were the contemporaries of the Holy Prophet ﷺ . Since having faith in him is also a part of the Covenant, these Jews too have been included among those who had been guilty of infringement. In this verse, Allah asks them to realize that it is in His mercy alone that he has not, in spite of their treason, sent down on them the kind of catastrophic punishment in this world as used to descend on the other infidels and traitors who have gone before.</p><p>Since a number of authentic ahadith declare that it is the barakah of the Holy Prophet ﷺ that catastrophic punishments no longer descend on any people, some commentators have identified this particular mercy and grace of Allah with the sending down of Muhammad ﷺ as a Prophet and Messenger of Allah.</p><p>In order to emphasize what the present verse has said, the next verse tells the story of another group of earlier transgressors and of the dreadful punishment which overtook them all of a sudden.</p>
