Those who lived before them did, too, devise many a blasphemy - whereupon God visited with destruction all that they had ever built, [striking] at its very foundations, so that the roof fell in upon them from above and suffering befell them without their having perceived whence it came. 26 Then on the resurrection day He will bring them to disgrace and say: Where are the associates you gave Me, for whose sake you became hostile?

Those who went before them did the same. God did not wrong them; rather they wronged themselves. 33 So the evils of their deeds struck them, and what they used to mock at surrounded them. 34
