وَلَهُم مَّقَـٰمِعُ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ
Walahum maq a miAAu min h adeed in
And they shall be held [in this state as if] by iron grips;28
  - Mohammad Asad

Lit., "for them will be grips (maqami) of iron". The noun miqma'ah - of which maqami is the plural - is derived from the verb qama'a, signifying "he curbed" or "restrained" or "held in subjection" (Lisan al-'Arab). Hence, the "iron grips" mentioned in the above verse denote the inescapability of the suffering in the hereafter to which "they who are bent on denying the truth" condemn themselves.

and there will be maces of iron to lash them.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
And awaiting them are maces of iron.
  - Mustafa Khattab
And for them are hooked rods of iron.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
In addition there will be maces of iron (to punish) them. 2794
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Read this with the next verse. There will be no escape from the final Punishment adjudged after the time of repentance is past.
