Are you secure read a-amintum pronouncing both hamzas fully or by not pronouncing the second one inserting an alif between it and the other one or without the insertion but replacing it with an alif instead in thinking that He Who is in the heaven that He Whose authority and power is in the heaven will not cause the earth to swallow you an yakhsifa substitutes for man ‘He Who’ while it quakes? while it moves underneath you and rises above you?
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(Have ye taken security) by your transgression, O people of Mecca, (from Him Who is in the heaven) from the chastisement of He Who is in Heaven established on the Throne (that He will not cause the earth to swallow you when lo! it is convulsed) swirling with you to the seventh earth, just as it has swallowed Korah?
