Commentary
After his wrongdoing, from the addition of the source to the object, and it is explained by the reading of one who recited: after he has wronged. Those are an indication of meaning without its wording: there is no way against them for punishment or for reproach and blame. The way is only upon those who wrong the people, initiating them with wrongdoing and seeking to be arrogant in the earth, exalting themselves in it and causing corruption.
