أَمَّنْ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى يَرْزُقُكُمْ إِنْ أَمْسَكَ رِزْقَهُۥ بَل لَّجُّوا۟ فِى عُتُوٍّ وَنُفُورٍ
Why this meaning was chosen
Quran-internal review covered all four occurrences. The two Form I predicates place people deep in an ongoing course of transgression or defiance; the noun and relational adjective locate depth within water. The recurring construction with فِى makes sustained immersion the shared distributional profile, while morphology distinguishes persistence from the watery depth itself. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule. No protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
