And how many populations We destroyed, which exulted in their life (of ease and plenty)! now those habitations of theirs, after them, are deserted,- All but a (miserable) few! and We are their heirs!

"Everything will it destroy by the command of its Lord!" Then by the morning they - nothing was to be seen but (the ruins of) their houses! thus do We recompense those given to sin!

我曾毁灭许多城市，那些城市里的居民，过一种骄奢的生活。这些是他们的居住地，从他们灭亡之后，除很少的时间外，无人居住；我是他们的继承。

它奉它的主的命令而毁灭一切。一旦之间，不见他们，只见他们的房屋。我要如此报酬犯罪的民众。
