28:58

وَكَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا مِنْ قَرْیَةٍ بَطِرَتْ مَعٖیشَتَهَاۚ فَتِلْكَ مَسَاكِنُهُمْ لَمْ تُسْكَنْ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ اِلَّا قَلٖیلًاؕ وَكُنَّا نَحْنُ الْوَارِثٖینَ

Wakam ahlakna min qaryatin batirat maAAeeshataha fatilka masakinuhum lam tuskan min baAAdihim illa qaleelan wakunna nahnu alwaritheena

Translations

And how many a city have We destroyed that was insolent in its [way of] living, and those are their dwellings which have not been inhabited after them except briefly. And it is We who were the inheritors

Saheeh International

And how many a community have We destroyed that was thankless for its means of livelihood! And yonder are their dwellings, which have not been inhabited after them save a little. And We, even We, were the inheritors
