يَوْمَ يَغْشَىٰهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ مِن فَوْقِهِمْ وَمِن تَحْتِ أَرْجُلِهِمْ وَيَقُولُ ذُوقُوا۟ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ
Yawma yaghsh a humu alAAa tha bu min fawqihim wamin ta h ti arjulihim wayaqoolu th ooqoo m a kuntum taAAmaloon a
[encompass them] on the Day when suffering will overwhelm them from above them and from beneath their feet,52 whereupon He shall say: "Taste [now the fruit ofl your own doines!"
  - Mohammad Asad

I.e., from all directions and from many causes.

On that Day the punishment shall cover them from above and from beneath their feet, and Allah will say: "Now taste the reward of your deeds."
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
on the Day the punishment will overwhelm them from above them and from below their feet. And it will be said, 'Reap what you sowed.'
  - Mustafa Khattab
On the day when the doom will overwhelm them from above them and from underneath their feet, and He will say: Taste what ye used to do!
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
On the Day that the Punishment shall cover them from above them and from below them and (a Voice) shall say: "Taste ye (the fruits) of your deeds!" 3487 3488
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Cf. a similar phrase in vi. 65.

This is not merely a reproach, but a justification of the Punishment. "It is you who brought it on yourselves by your evil deeds: blame none but yourselves. Allah's Mercy gave you many chances: His Justice has now overtaken you!"
