Surah An-Nisa — 4:52

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَعَنَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ ۖ وَمَن يَلْعَنِ ٱللَّهُ فَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُۥ نَصِيرًا

Ulaaa'ikal lazeena la'ana humul laahu wa mai yal'anil laahu falan tajida lahoo naseeraa

To są ci, których przeklął Bóg. A jeśli kogo przeklął Bóg, to nie znajdziesz dla niego pomocnika.

Those are the ones God has cursed, and whoever God curses — you will find for him no helper.

Reflection

The verdict answers a verdict: the line before has these people ruling on who is better guided, and this one rules on them. Laʿana is a word for driving someone off and keeping them at a distance, so the consequence is put in terms of a missing naṣīr, someone to take your side. In a setting where a person without a protector had no standing, that is the sharpest available way to say it.
