Verse 38 of Surah Saba (34:38), a Meccan surah, is in juz 22, on page 432 of the mushaf. Read it in Arabic with its transliteration, translations and tafsir, and listen to it recited by 73 reciters.
79 recitations by 73 reciters: pick one and it plays in the player.
And the disbelievers who make it their utmost effort to turn people away from our verses and strive hard to achieve these goals of theirs are losers in this world and will be punished in the Hereafter.
But those who strive against Our verses21, seeking to discredit them, it is they who will be summoned to the punishment.
[21] In order to undermine their credibility.

And as for those who strive against Our revelations, challenging, they will be brought to the doom.
Those who strive against Our Signs, to frustrate them, will be given over into Punishment.
And (as for) those who strive in opposing Our communications, they shall be caused to be brought to the chastisement.
And (the ones) who endeavor against Our signs trying to defy them, those will be presented forward into the torment.

وَٱلَّذِينَ سَعَوْا۟ فِىٓ ءَايَٰتِنَا مُعَٰجِزِينَ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
But the ones who strove against Our verses, [seeking] to cause failure - those are the companions of Hellfire.
وَٱلَّذِينَ سَعَوْ فِىٓ ءَايَٰتِنَا مُعَٰجِزِينَ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مِّن رِّجْزٍ أَلِيمٌ
But those who strive against Our verses [seeking] to cause failure - for them will be a painful punishment of foul nature.
