ٱسْتِكْبَارًا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَكْرَ ٱلسَّيِّئِ وَلَا يَحِيقُ ٱلْمَكْرُ ٱلسَّيِّئُ إِلَّا بِأَهْلِهِۦ فَهَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا سُنَّتَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ فَلَن تَجِدَ لِسُنَّتِ ٱللَّهِ تَبْدِيلًا وَلَن تَجِدَ لِسُنَّتِ ٱللَّهِ تَحْوِيلًا

Why this meaning was chosen
Quran-internal review covered all ten occurrences. Eight use a recurring formula in which the object of mockery closes in upon the mockers. At 35:43 evil plotting closes in only upon its own people, and at 40:45 severe punishment closes in upon Pharaoh's house after a believer is protected from their plots. Perfect and imperfect aspect vary while adverse consequence returning upon its source remains stable. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
