16:52

وَلَهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَهُ ٱلدِّينُ وَاصِبًا أَفَغَيْرَ ٱللَّهِ تَتَّقُونَ

37:9

دُحُورًا وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ وَاصِبٌ

Why this meaning was chosen

The same form I active participle describes the devotion due to God and a punishment. Accusative circumstantial use in 16:52 is rendered adverbially, while nominative agreement with عَذَاب in 37:9 is rendered adjectivally; both retain uninterrupted duration.
