مَنْ كَانَ یُرٖیدُ الْعِزَّةَ فَلِلّٰهِ الْعِزَّةُ جَمٖیعًاؕ اِلَیْهِ یَصْعَدُ الْكَلِمُ الطَّیِّبُ وَالْعَمَلُ الصَّالِـحُ یَرْفَعُهُؕ وَالَّذٖینَ یَمْكُرُونَ السَّیِّــَٔاتِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدٖیدٌؕ وَمَكْرُ اُو𐻾لٰٓئِكَ هُوَ یَبُورُ

Translations
Whoever desires honor [through power] - then to Allah belongs all honor. To Him ascends good speech, and righteous work raises it. But they who plot evil deeds will have a severe punishment, and the plotting of those - it will perish
Saheeh International
Whoso desireth power (should know that) all power belongeth to Allah. Unto Him good words ascend, and the pious deed doth He exalt; but those who plot iniquities, theirs will be an awful doom; and the plotting of such (folk) will come to naught
Marmaduke Pickthall
