    "Yes, you stayed a little—but you failed to realize it when it mattered."

    • This verse emphasizes that worldly life is brief, especially when compared to eternity in the Hereafter.

    • Had they truly understood its shortness, they would have used their time wisely in obedience and repentance.

    The verse subtly rebukes their lack of foresight and spiritual understanding.
