72:12

وَأَنَّا ظَنَنَّآ أَن لَّن نُّعْجِزَ ٱللَّهَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَن نُّعْجِزَهُۥ هَرَبًا

Why this meaning was chosen

The sole action noun is the attempted means by which the jinn acknowledge they cannot frustrate God, complementing their inability anywhere on earth. The core is evasive flight, while negation and the divine object remain compositional context.
