No contradiction in Quran 17:8
Allaah Almighty Says (what means): {[Then Allaah said], "It is expected, [if you repent], that your Lord will have mercy upon you. But if you return [to sin], We will return [to punishment]. And We have made Hell, for the disbelievers, a prison-bed.}[Quran 17:8] I found no sufficient explanation for the previous Aayah that may accord with the Promise of Allaah Almighty to subjugate the Children of Israel. The Quranic text states that Allaah Almighty Will Have mercy upon them after He Sends His slaves to destroy what they had taken over with total destruction. Please, clarify this to me. May Allaah have mercy upon you.

{ This is a promise from Allaah Almighty to punish the children of Israel if they returned to sin and corruption. { This is a promise from Allaah Almighty to bestow His Mercy upon the children of Israel again after what He Has Afflicted upon them in the latter time that is referred to in the Aayah. Allaah Almighty Fulfilled His promise and their number increased until some of them became kings. However, they returned to corruption by disbelieving in the Prophet, Sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam. Hence, Allaah Almighty Humiliated them again as He Had Promised. Imam { Thereupon, it is clear that the promise of Allaah to have mercy upon them is conditioned by refraining from returning to corruption and sins. However, their disbelief in Nevertheless, Allaah, the Exalted, May Tempt them, by empowering them, in accordance with His norm with the oppressors. The Prophet, Sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, said, "
