Muhammad Asad
Think not that those who exult in what they have thus contrived, and who love to be praised for what they have not done - think not that they will escape suffering: for grievous suffering does await them [in the life to come]
Arthur John Arberry
Reckon not that those who rejoice in what they have brought, and love to be praised for what they have not done -- do not reckon them secure from chastisement; for them awaits a painful chastisement

لَا تَحۡسَبَنَّ ٱلَّذِینَ یَفۡرَحُونَ بِمَاۤ أَتَوا۟ وَّیُحِبُّونَ أَن یُحۡمَدُوا۟ بِمَا لَمۡ یَفۡعَلُوا۟ فَلَا تَحۡسَبَنَّهُم بِمَفَازَةࣲ مِّنَ ٱلۡعَذَابِۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِیمࣱ ١٨٨
