30:10

ثُمَّ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسَٰٓـُٔوا۟ ٱلسُّوٓأَىٰٓ أَن كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَكَانُوا۟ بِهَا يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ

Why this meaning was chosen

Repeated حسنة/سيئة and أحسن/أسوأ oppositions establish a single evaluative axis. Form I predicates badness or an experiencer's displeasure; Form IV performs bad; elatives, adjectives, agent nouns, and the shameful-exposure noun compose regularly. Context selects deed, adversity, outcome, or bodily exposure without multiplying lexical cores.
