18:52

وَيَوْمَ يَقُولُ نَادُوا۟ شُرَكَآءِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ زَعَمْتُمْ فَدَعَوْهُمْ فَلَمْ يَسْتَجِيبُوا۟ لَهُمْ وَجَعَلْنَا بَيْنَهُم مَّوْبِقًا

42:34

أَوْ يُوبِقْهُنَّ بِمَا كَسَبُوا۟ وَيَعْفُ عَن كَثِيرٍ

Why this meaning was chosen

Both occurrences were inspected together. A destructive gulf is placed between failed partners and their callers, while the causative verb threatens destruction of ships due to human earnings. Place-result noun and form IV causation remain compositional.
