وَإِذْ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكُمْ لَئِن شَكَرْتُمْ لَأَزِيدَنَّكُمْ ۖ وَلَئِن كَفَرْتُمْ إِنَّ عَذَابِى لَشَدِيدٌ ﴿7﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
And (remember) when your Lord proclaimed: "If you give thanks (by accepting Faith and worshipping none but Allâh), I will give you more (of My Blessings); but if you are thankless (i.e. disbelievers), verily My punishment is indeed severe."

7. 1. He has informed and warned you with His promise. And it is also possible that this is in the meaning of an oath, that is, when your Lord, swearing by His honor, majesty, and greatness, said (Ibn Kathir).
7. 2. Upon showing gratitude for a blessing, I will bestow even more rewards.
7. 3. This means that ingratitude for blessings (ungratefulness) is disliked by Allah, for which He has stated a severe warning of punishment. That is why the Prophet ﷺ also said that the majority of women will enter Hell due to their ingratitude towards their husbands (Sahih Muslim).
