But when We removed the punishment from them until a term which they were to reach, then at once they broke their word.
The Saheeh International Quran Translation
فَلَمَّا كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُمُ ٱلرِّجْزَ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ هُم بَٰلِغُوهُ إِذَا هُمْ يَنكُثُونَBut when We removed the punishment from them until a term which they were to reach, then at once they broke their word.
