Have they not travelled on the earth that they could see what happened to those before them? They were greater in strength than they, and have left behind them traces on the earth. Yet they were seized by God for their sins, and had none to protect them against God.
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.
