• وَأَظْهَرَ فِي الْأَرْضِ الْفَسَادَ وَالْجَوْرَ وَالْكَذِبَ وَخَالَفَ الْخَلْقَ،

  And who spread corruption, injustice, and falsehood on earth and opposed creation.

  وَخَالَفَ — and opposed. This joins 'and' to a completed-action verb 'he opposed', a further deed in the list, its subject carried inside. The 'and' links it to the spreading verbs, adding opposition to creation as the next wrong.

• وأظهر في الأرض الفساد والجور والكذب وخالف الخلق

  And spread corruption, oppression, and falsehood on earth, and contradicted creation.

  وَخَالَفَ — and contradicted. The conjunction adds a fresh past verb, he opposed, the doer carried inside. This starts a new action paralleled to the spreading, and its object follows in the accusative.
