The word(s) "punish" appears 198 time(s) in 184 verse(s) in Quran in Muhammad Habib Shakir translation.

(151) So when they saw it as a cloud appearing in the sky advancing towards their valleys, they said: This is a cloud which will give us rain. Nay! it is what you sought to hasten on, a blast of wind in which is a painful punishment,

(152) O our people! accept the Divine caller and believe in Him, He will forgive you of your faults and protect you from a painful punishment.

(153) And on the day when those who disbelieve shall be brought before the fire: Is it not true? They shall say: Aye! by our Lord! He will say: Then taste the punishment, because you disbelieved.
