The tafsir of Surah An-Nahl verse 85 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Nahl ayat 84 which provides the complete commentary from verse 84 through 88.
(16:85) Once the wrong-doers have beheld the chastisement,[82] neither will it be lightened for them nor will they be granted any respite.
82. That is, they will not be given the opportunity to beg pardon of their Lord for their crimes. For that will be the time of judgment as the time of begging pardon would have ended long before this. The Quran and the traditions are explicit on this point that the place for penitence is this world and not the next world. Even in this world the opportunity is lost as soon as signs of death begin to appear, for the penitence at that time will be of no avail when a person knows that the time of his death has come. Respite for deeds expires as soon as one enters into the boundary of death, and the only thing that remains after that is the award of reward and punishment.
