highlighted words differ between verses

68:43 · Al-Qalam · Juz 29

خَـٰشِعَةً أَبْصَـٰرُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌ ۖ وَقَدْ كَانُوا۟ يُدْعَوْنَ إِلَى ٱلسُّجُودِ وَهُمْ سَـٰلِمُونَ

with eyes downcast, totally covered with disgrace. For they were ˹always˺ called to prostrate ˹in the world˺ when they were fully capable ˹but they chose not to˺.

70:44 · Al-Ma'aarij · Juz 29

خَـٰشِعَةً أَبْصَـٰرُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلَّذِى كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ

with eyes downcast, utterly covered with disgrace. That is the Day they have ˹always˺ been warned of.

Both describe the disbelievers on the Day of Judgment with 'khashi'atan absaruhum tarhaquhum dhillah' in virtually identical wording across Al-Qalam and Al-Ma'arij.
