Sura 30
Aya 9
9
أَوَلَم يَسيروا فِي الأَرضِ فَيَنظُروا كَيفَ كانَ عاقِبَةُ الَّذينَ مِن قَبلِهِم ۚ كانوا أَشَدَّ مِنهُم قُوَّةً وَأَثارُوا الأَرضَ وَعَمَروها أَكثَرَ مِمّا عَمَروها وَجاءَتهُم رُسُلُهُم بِالبَيِّناتِ ۖ فَما كانَ اللَّهُ لِيَظلِمَهُم وَلٰكِن كانوا أَنفُسَهُم يَظلِمونَ

(Irfan-ul-Quran)

Have they not travelled in the earth and seen what was the end of those before them? They were more powerful than them. And they cultivated the earth and inhabited it far more than these people have done. Then their Messengers came to them with clear Signs. So Allah would not wrong them but they wronged their souls themselves.
