The word(s) "hemmed" appears 5 time(s) in 5 verse(s) in Quran in Abdullah Yusuf Ali translation.

(1) Mocked were (many) messengers before thee; but their scoffers were hemmed in by the thing that they mocked.

(2) (Jacob) said: "Never will I send him with you until ye swear a solemn oath to me, in Allah's name, that ye will be sure to bring him back to me unless ye are yourselves hemmed in (and made powerless). And when they had sworn their solemn oath, he said: "Over all that we say, be Allah the witness and guardian!"

(3) But the evil results of their deeds overtook them, and that very (Wrath) at which they had scoffed hemmed them in.

(4) Mocked were (many) messenger before thee; But their scoffers were hemmed in by the thing that they mocked.

(5) For when their messengers came to them with Clear Signs, they exulted in such knowledge (and skill) as they had; but that very (Wrath) at which they were wont to scoff hemmed them in.
