Sahih International:

And We have certainly diversified for the people in this Quran from every [kind of] example, but most of the people refused except disbelief. (Al-Isra [17] : 89)

1 Mufti Taqi Usmani

Indeed We explained every subject in this Qur’ān in various ways for the benefit of mankind. Still, most of the people refused to do anything but reject.
