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

(51) When some of them said: "Why do ye preach to a people whom Allah will destroy or visit with a terrible punishment?"- said the preachers:" To discharge our duty to your Lord, and perchance they may fear Him."
