Nay, but We hurl the true against the false, and it doth break its head and lo! it vanisheth. And yours will be woe for that which ye ascribe (unto Him).

Yusuf Ali — Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Nay, We hurl the Truth against falsehood, and it knocks out its brain, and behold, falsehood doth perish! Ah! woe be to you for the (false) things ye ascribe (to Us).

تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

وقوله : ( بل نقذف بالحق على الباطل ) أي : نبين الحق فيدحض الباطل; ولهذا قال : ( فيدمغه فإذا هو زاهق ) أي : ذاهب مضمحل ، ( ولكم الويل ) أي : أيها القائلون : لله ولد ، ( مما تصفون ) أي : تقولون وتفترون .

ثم أخبر تعالى عن عبودية الملائكة له ، ودأبهم في طاعته ليلا ونهارا
