9. Do they not travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those before them?
They were superior to them in strength: they tilled the soil and populated it in greater
numbers than these have done: there came to them their apostles with Clear (Signs).
(Which they rejected, to their own destruction): It was not Allah Who wronged them, but
they wronged their own souls.

10. In the long run evil in the extreme will be the End of those who do evil; for that they
rejected the Signs of Allah, and held them up to ridicule.
