quran:34:5 –

But those who strive against Our verses ˹seeking˺ to cause failure - for them will be a painful punishment of foul nature.  

And those who strive against, ˹who strive˺ to invalidate, Our signs, namely, the Qur’ān, deeming Us inomnipotent (mu‘ajjizīna, a variant reading ˹of this˺ here and later on ˹in verse 38, below˺ is mu‘ājizīna: ˹so that respectively these mean˺ ‘deeming that We are incapable’ ˹mu‘ajjizīna˺, or ˹if read mu‘ājizīna˺ ‘vying with Us, in order to elude Us’) for they suppose that there is no ˹such thing as˺ resurrection or punishment — for such there will be a chastisement of an awful punishment’ (read either alīmin or alīmun ˹respectively˺ as an adjectival qualification of rijzin, ‘punishment’ or ‘adhābun, ‘chastisement’).
القرآن:٣٤:٥ –

وَالَّذِينَ سَعَوْا فِي آيَاتِنَا مُعَاجِزِينَ أُولَٰئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مِنْ رِجْزٍ أَلِيمٌ  

{والذين سعوا في} إبطال {آياتنا} القرآن {معجزين} وفي قراءة هنا وفيما يأتي معاجزين، أي مقدرين عجزنا أو مسابقين لنا فيفوتونا لظنهم أن لا بعث ولا عقاب {أولئك لهم عذاب من رجز} سيء العذاب {أليم} مؤلم بالجر والرفع صفة لرجز أو عذاب.
