Quran 40:82 from Surah Ghafir on Divine Marvels.
أَفَلَمۡ يَسِيرُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَيَنظُرُواْ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡۚ كَانُوٓاْ أَكۡثَرَ مِنۡهُمۡ وَأَشَدَّ قُوَّةٗ وَءَاثَارٗا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَمَآ أَغۡنَىٰ عَنۡهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ
English translation: Do they not travel through the land and see how was (the) end (of) those who (were) before them (were) before them They were more numerous than them and mightier (in) strength and impressions in the land but not availed them what they used (to) earn
Transliteration: afalam yasiru fi al-ardi fayanzuru kayfa kana aqibatu alladhina min qablihim kanu akthara min'hum wa-ashadda quwwatan waatharan fi al-ardi fama aghna anhum ma kanu yaksibuna
