This is a confirmatory interrogative, the answer is to say “Yes”, I know.

(… يُعَذِّبُ مَن يَشَاءُ وَيَغْفِرُ لِمَن يَشَاءُ …) (…He punishes whom He wills and forgives whom He wills, …): Allah (swt) has prioritized punishment over forgiveness, whereas Allah’s mercy and forgiveness always comes before His punishment, but here it comes first because the talk is about the crime of theft. When a crime is committed, punishment comes first and then forgiveness, however, the purpose here is not to cut off, but to deter from committing the crime.
