Transliteration:( Alam ta'lam annal laaha lahoo mulkus samaawaati wal ardi yu'az zibu many-yashaa'u wa yaghfiru limany-yashaaa'; wallaahu 'alaa kulli shai'in Qadeer )
126. If the thief repents he would be saved from the punishment of the Hereafter but not from the penalty of this world. That is intended by forgiveness.
127. By He can do everything' means He can forgive whichever criminal He may please. and punish which ever criminal He may please. It does not mean that He would punish any person without any crime. Hence there is no contradiction in the verse.
