Tafsir
Ibn Kathīr (abridged)
The Reward of the Righteous &the Sinners Allah informs of what the righteous will receive of delight
They are those who obeyed Allah and did not meet Him with disobedience (sins). Then He mentions that the evildoers will be in Hell and eternal torment. Due to this He says,

(Therein they will enter, and taste its burning flame on the Day of Recompense,) meaning, the Day of Reckoning, Recompense, and Judgement.
وَمَا هُمَ عَنْهَا بِغَآئِبِينَ
(And they will not be absent therefrom.) meaning, they will not be absent for even one hour from the torment. The torment will not be lightened from them, nor will they be granted the death that they will be requesting, or any rest -- not even for a single day. Allah then says,
