The Holy Quran 14:45 — Surah Ibrahim

Arabic text

وَسَكَنتُمْ فِى مَسَـٰكِنِ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمْ كَيْفَ فَعَلْنَا بِهِمْ وَضَرَبْنَا لَكُمُ ٱلْأَمْثَالَ

Translation

And We even cited (gave) examples for you (so that you may mend your ways, but you failed to listen)."
