وَاَقْسَمُوا بِاللّٰهِ جَهْدَ اَیْمَانِهِمْ لَئِنْ جَٓاءَهُمْ نَذٖیرٌ لَیَكُونُنَّ اَهْدٰى مِنْ اِحْدَى الْاُمَمِۚ فَلَمَّا جَٓاءَهُمْ نَذٖیرٌ مَا زَادَهُمْ اِلَّا نُفُورًاۙ
Waaqsamoo biAllahi jahda aymanihim lain jaahum natheerun layakoonunna ahda min ihda alomami falamma jaahum natheerun ma zadahum illa nufooran

Saheeh International
And they swore by Allah, their most binding oath, that if a warner came unto them they would be more tractable than any of the nations; yet, when a warner came unto them it aroused in them naught save repugnance
