40:21
أَوَلَمْ
يَسِيرُوا
فِي
الْأَرْضِ
فَيَنظُرُوا
كَيْفَ
كَانَ
عَاقِبَةُ
الَّذِينَ
كَانُوا
مِن
قَبْلِهِمْ
كَانُوا
هُمْ
أَشَدَّ
مِنْهُمْ
قُوَّةً
وَآثَارًا
فِي
الْأَرْضِ
فَأَخَذَهُمُ
اللَّهُ
بِذُنُوبِهِمْ
وَمَا
كَانَ
لَهُم
مِّنَ
اللَّهِ
مِن
وَاقٍ

Have they not travelled through the land to see the terrible end of those who lived before them. They had been mightier than them in power and in leaving their traces on earth. God punished them for their sins. They had no one to save them from God's torment.
