16:26Those before them also schemed, but God took their structures from the foundations, and the roof caved in on them. The punishment came at them from where they did not perceive.

16:28Those wronging their souls while the angels are taking them away—they will propose peace: “We did no wrong.” Yes you did. God is aware of what you used to do.”

16:33Are they but waiting for the angels to come to them, or for the command of your Lord to arrive? Those before them did likewise. God did not wrong them, but they used to wrong their own souls.

16:35The idolaters say, “Had God willed, we would not have worshiped anything besides Him, neither us, nor our ancestors, nor would we have prohibited anything besides His prohibitions.” Those before them did likewise. Are the messengers responsible for anything but clear communication?

16:43We did not send before you except men whom We inspired. So ask the people of knowledge, if you do not know.

16:85When those who did wrong see the punishment, it will not be lightened for them, nor will they be reprieved.

16:118For those who are Jews, We have prohibited what We related to you before. We did not wrong them, but they used to wrong their own selves.
