Have they not travelled through the land and seen what was the end of those who have gone before them? They were stronger than them and made a more impressive mark upon the land, yet God destroyed them for their sins, they had no one to defend them against Him,
آيا در زمين نگرديده‌اند تا ببينند فرجام كسانى كه پيش از آنها [زيسته‌]اند چگونه بوده است؟ آنها از ايشان نيرومندتر [بوده‌] و آثار [پايدارترى‌] در روى زمين [از خود باقى گذاشتند]، با اين همه، خدا آنان را به كيفر گناهانشان گرفتار كرد و در برابر خدا حمايتگرى نداشتند.
