The word(s) "punish" appears 196 time(s) in 184 verse(s) in Quran in Abdullah Yusuf Ali translation.

(111) Those who brought forward the lie are a body among yourselves: think it not to be an evil to you; On the contrary it is good for you: to every man among them (will come the punishment) of the sin that he earned, and to him who took on himself the lead among them, will be a penalty grievous.

(112) Those who invoke not, with Allah, any other god, nor slay such life as Allah has made sacred except for just cause, nor commit fornication; - and any that does this (not only) meets punishment.

(113) Say (to the Rejecters): "My Lord is not uneasy because of you if ye call not on Him: But ye have indeed rejected (Him), and soon will come the inevitable (punishment)!"

(114) But they rejected him. Then the punishment of a day of overshadowing gloom seized them, and that was the Penalty of a Great Day.

(115) Yet there comes to them at length the (punishment) which they were promised!

(116) "I will certainly punish him with a severe penalty, or execute him, unless he bring me a clear reason (for absence)."

(117) Are (these two) alike?- one to whom We have made a goodly promise, and who is going to reach its (fulfilment), and one to whom We have given the good things of this life, but who, on the Day of Judgment, is to be among those brought up (for punishment)?

(118) If any does good, the reward to him is better than his deed; but if any does evil, the doers of evil are only punished (to the extent) of their deeds.

(119) "He punishes whom He pleases, and He grants Mercy to whom He pleases, and towards Him are ye turned.

(120) "For we are going to bring down on the people of this township a punishment from heaven, because they have been wickedly rebellious."
