Transliteration:( Qaala Rabbeee a'lamu bimaa ta'maloon )
188. This means I have not come to bring Divine punishment, but to bring mercy unto you it is your evil deeds which would usher in punishment. It should be remembered that the Prophets of Allah Almighty bring His mercy, if people turn it into punishment, it is up to them.

Please refer to Surah Shura ayat 185 which provides the complete commentary from verse 185 through 191.
116. That is, it is not in my power to bring down the torment; it is in Allah’s power, and He is fully aware of your misdeeds. He will send down the torment as and when He wills. In this demand of the people of Aiykah and the answer of Prophet Shuaib (peace be upon him) to them there was an admonition for the Quraish as well. They also demanded from the Prophet (peace be upon him) to bring down the torment on them: Or…. you cause the sky to fall down on us in fragments, as you threaten us. (Surah Bani Israil, Ayat 92). As such the Quraish are being told that the people of Aiykah had also demanded a similar thing from their Prophet, and the answer that they got from their Prophet is the answer of Muhammad (peace be on him) to you.
