98. Either for the punishment of the Hereafter, or that of the grave, or that at the time of death. The first meaning is more appropriate
99. This tells us that physical bounties comparison to the spiritual punishment are just momentary, or even less than that. Therefor the intelligent person should take heed that one should not choose physical bounties over the bounties of the Hereafter.
