2:26God does not shy away from making an example of a gnat, or something above it. As for those who believe, they know that it is the Truth from their Lord. But as for those who disbelieve, they say, “What did God intend by this example?” He leads astray many thereby, and He guides many thereby; but He misleads thereby only the evildoers.

2:206And when he is told, “Beware of God,” his pride leads him to more sin. Hell is enough for him—a dreadful abode.
