So, is there any way out?” (Note: Two lives are, 1st this life and 2nd resurrection on the day of judgment, however, for non-believers, there are two deaths, one end of this life and also being in Hell is like more than death. But for believers, there is only one death. Allah knows Best).

That is because Messengers came to them with clear signs, but they were unjust (denied the Messengers), so Allah held them. He is the Most Powerful and Severe in Punishment.
