فَعَصَى فِرْعَوْنُ الرَّسُولَ فَأَخَذْنَاهُ أَخْذًا وَبِيلًا
[73:16]
But Firon disobeyed the messenger, so We laid on him a violent hold.
But Pharaoh disobeyed the messenger; so We seized him with a heavy Punishment.
But Pharaoh rebelled against the messenger, whereupon We seized him with no gentle grip.
