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

(141) "What! has the Message been sent to him - (Of all persons) among us?"... but they are in doubt concerning My (Own) Message! Nay, they have not yet tasted My punishment!

(142) Not one (of them) but rejected the messengers, but My punishment came justly and inevitably (on them).

(143) Is, then, one against whom the decree of punishment is justly due (equal to one who eschews Evil)? Wouldst thou, then, deliver one (who is) in the Fire?

(144) Those before them (also) rejected (revelation), and so the punishment came to them from directions they did not perceive.

(145) So Allah gave them a taste of humiliation in the present life, but greater is the punishment of the Hereafter, if they only knew!

(146) The Unbelievers will be led to Hell in crowd: until, when they arrive, there, its gates will be opened. And its keepers will say, "Did not messengers come to you from among yourselves, rehearsing to you the Signs of your Lord, and warning you of the Meeting of This Day of yours?" The answer will be: "True: but the Decree of punishment has been proved true against the Unbelievers!"

(147) Who forgiveth sin, accepteth repentance, is strict in punishment, and hath a long reach (in all things). there is no god but He: to Him is the final goal.

(148) That was because there came to them their messengers with Clear (Signs), but they rejected them: So Allah called them to account: for He is Full of Strength, Strict in punishment.

(149) "O my People! Yours is the dominion this day: Ye have the upper hand in the land: but who will help us from the punishment of Allah, should it befall us?" Pharaoh said: "I but point out to you that which I see (myself); Nor do I guide you but to the Path of Right!"

(150) But when they saw Our punishment, they said: "We believe in Allah,- the one Allah - and we reject the partners we used to join with Him."
