40:5
كَذَّبَتْ
قَبْلَهُمْ
قَوْمُ
نُوحٍۢ
وَٱلْأَحْزَابُ
مِنۢ
بَعْدِهِمْ ۖ
وَهَمَّتْ
كُلُّ
أُمَّةٍۭ
بِرَسُولِهِمْ
لِيَأْخُذُوهُ ۖ
وَجَـٰدَلُوا۟
بِٱلْبَـٰطِلِ
لِيُدْحِضُوا۟
بِهِ
ٱلْحَقَّ
فَأَخَذْتُهُمْ ۖ
فَكَيْفَ
كَانَ
عِقَابِ

Before them the people of Noah rejected the truth and so did those who formed opposition after them: every community schemed to destroy its messenger and strove to refute truth with falsehood; but it was I who destroyed them. How terrible My punishment was!
