Commentary
When He warned the one who turns away from His remembrance with two punishments: the constricted life in this world, and gathering him blind in the Hereafter - He concluded the verses of warning with His saying, 'And the punishment of the Hereafter is more severe and more lasting.' It is as if He said: 'And for the gathering in blindness that never fades is more severe than the constricted life that comes to an end.' Or He meant: 'And leaving him in blindness is more severe and more lasting than leaving him to Our signs.'
