اسْتِكْبَارًا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَمَكْرَ السَّيِّئِ ۚ وَلَا يَحِيقُ الْمَكْرُ السَّيِّئُ إِلَّا بِأَهْلِهِ ۚ فَهَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا سُنَّتَ الْأَوَّلِينَ ۚ فَلَن تَجِدَ لِسُنَّتِ اللَّهِ تَبْدِيلًا ۖ وَلَن تَجِدَ لِسُنَّتِ اللَّهِ تَحْوِيلًا

Istakbaaran fil ardi wa makras sayyi'; wa laa yaheequl makrus sayyi'u illaa bi ahlih; fahal yanzuroona illaa sunnatal awwaleen; falan tajida lisunnatil laahi tabdeelanw wa lan tajida lisunnatil laahi tahweela

[Due to] arrogance in the land and plotting of evil; but the evil plot does not encompass except its own people. Then do they await except the way of the former peoples? But you will never find in the way of Allah any change, and you will never find in the way of Allah any alteration.

Modern standard English translation, published by Abul-Qasim.

Marmaduke Pickthall
(Shown in their) behaving arrogantly in the land and plotting evil; and the evil plot encloseth but the men who make it. Then, can they expect aught save the treatment of the folk of old? Thou wilt not find for Allah's way of treatment any substitute, nor wilt thou find for Allah's way of treatment aught of power to change.

1930 — first English translation of the Qur'an by a Muslim scholar.

Abdullah Yusuf Ali
On account of their arrogance in the land and their plotting of Evil, but the plotting of Evil will hem in only the authors thereof. Now are they but looking for the way the ancients were dealt with? But no change wilt thou find in Allah's way (of dealing): no turning off wilt thou find in Allah's way (of dealing).

1934 — widely-cited classic English rendering with commentary tradition.

Kementerian Agama RI
karena kesombongan (mereka) di muka bumi dan karena rencana (mereka) yang jahat. Rencana yang jahat itu tidak akan menimpa selain orang yang merencanakannya sendiri. Tiadalah yang mereka nanti-nantikan melainkan (berlakunya) sunnah (Allah yang telah berlaku) kepada orang-orang yang terdahulu. Maka sekali-kali kamu tidak akan mendapat penggantian bagi sunnah Allah, dan sekali-kali tidak (pula) akan menemui penyimpangan bagi sunnah Allah itu.
