O Prophet! When you divorce women, divorce them at their ‘Iddah (prescribed periods), and count (accurately) their ‘Iddah (periods ). And fear Allah your Lord (O Muslims), and turn them not out of their (husband’s) homes, nor shall they (themselves) leave, except in case they are guilty of some open illegal sexual intercourse. And those are the set limits of Allah. And whosoever transgresses the set limits of Allah, then indeed he has wronged himself. You (the one who divorces his wife) know not, it may be that Allah will afterward bring some new thing to pass (i.e. to return her back to you if that was the first or second divorce).
Meaning:-
Iddah or Iddat (Arabic) (period of waiting) : is the period a woman must observe after the death of her spouse or after a divorce, during which she may not marry another man. Its purpose is to ensure that the male parent of any offspring produced after the cessation of a nikah (marriage) would be known.
Transgresses: to violate a law, command, moral code, etc.; offend; sin.

Then when their waiting period ends, either keep them honorably or part with them in an honorable way. Call to witness two honest persons among you, and O witnesses, bear witness equitably for the sake of Allah. This advise is being given to all who believe in Allah and the last Day. He that fears Allah may be provided a way out by Him,

And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine. And whosoever puts his trust in Allah, then He will suffice him. Verily, Allah will accomplish his purpose. Indeed Allah has set a measure for all things.
Meaning:-
Suffice: be sufficient,

If you have any doubt concerning those of your wives who have ceased menstruating, then you should know that their waiting period will be three months, and the same will apply to those who have no menstruation due to young age or a disease. As for those who are pregnant, their waiting period will end with delivery. Allah will ease the hardship of those who fear Him.

That is the command of Allah , which He has sent down to you; and whoever fears Allah – He will remove for him his misdeeds and make great for him his reward.

Let those women, during their waiting period (‘Iddat), live where you yourselves live according to your means. You shall not harass them so as to make life intolerable for them. If they are pregnant, maintain them until their delivery: and if, after that, they suckle your offspring, compensate them and settle the matter of compensation with mutual consultation and in all fairness. But if you cannot bear with each other then let another woman suckle the baby for you.

Let the rich man give according to his means, and the poor man give according to what Allah has given him. Allah does not charge a man with more than He has given him; soon Allah may bring ease after hardship.

And how many a city (population) was insolent toward the command of its Lord and His messengers, so We took it to severe account (i.e. punishment in this worldly life) and punished it with a terrible punishment (in Hell, in the Hereafter).
Meaning:-
Insolent: showing a rude and arrogant lack of respect.

So they tasted the fruit of their misdeeds, and the fruit of their misdeeds was perdition.
Meaning:-
Perdition: eternal punishment; hell, hellfire, doom.

Allah has prepared for them a severe torment. So fear Allah and keep your duty to Him, O men of understanding who have believed! – Allah has indeed sent down to you a Reminder (this Quran).

(And has also sent to you) a Messenger (Muhammad), who recites to you the Verses of Allah (the Quran) containing clear explanations, that He may take out, those who believe and do righteous good deeds from the darkness to the light. And whosoever believes in Allah and performs righteous good deeds, He will admit him into Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise), to dwell therein forever. Allah has indeed granted for him an excellent provision.
Meaning:-
Righteous: (of a person or conduct) morally right or justifiable; virtuous, very good; excellent.

It is Allah Who has created seven heavens and of the earth the like thereof (i.e. seven). His Command descends between them (heavens and earth), that you may know that Allah has power over all things, and that Allah surrounds (comprehends) all things in (His) Knowledge.
Meaning:-
Descend: come down
