The Holy Quran 17:68 — Surah Al-Isra

Arabic text

أَفَأَمِنتُمْ أَن يَخْسِفَ بِكُمْ جَانِبَ ٱلْبَرِّ أَوْ يُرْسِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ حَاصِبًا ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُوا۟ لَكُمْ وَكِيلًا

Translation

Do you feel secure (fearless) against Him causing you to sink in the end of earth? Or (do you feel secure against Him) unleashing a storm that rains stones on you, after which you shall not find a protector (to save you from it)?

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

that is, He may cause you to sink into the land at the seashore. For example, an earthquake may strike, the earth split open, and you sink into it like Qarun. In short, destroying [you] does not depend on the waves of the sea at all.
