We have sent no Prophet to any city but that We seized its people with misery and hardship, that haply they might be humble; 94 and then We changed their hardship into ease until they grew affluent and said, "Our fathers had also experienced adversity and prosperity," then We seized them suddenly, unawares. 95 But if the people of these regions had believed and feared God, We would surely have showered on them blessings of the heavens and the earth; but they only denied, and We punished them for their deeds. 96 Are the people of the region so secure that they lie asleep unaware as Our punishment overtakes them? 97 Or are the people of the townships then secure from the coming of Our wrath upon them in the daytime while they play? 98 Can they, then, ever feel secure from God's deep devising? But none feels secure from God's deep devising save people who are [already] lost. 99
