Aya 69
69
كَالَّذينَ مِن قَبلِكُم كانوا أَشَدَّ مِنكُم قُوَّةً وَأَكثَرَ أَموالًا وَأَولادًا فَاستَمتَعوا بِخَلاقِهِم فَاستَمتَعتُم بِخَلاقِكُم كَمَا استَمتَعَ الَّذينَ مِن قَبلِكُم بِخَلاقِهِم وَخُضتُم كَالَّذي خاضوا ۚ أُولٰئِكَ حَبِطَت أَعمالُهُم فِي الدُّنيا وَالآخِرَةِ ۖ وَأُولٰئِكَ هُمُ الخاسِرونَ

Laleh Bakhtiar

Like those before you who had been with more strength than you and more wealth and children, they enjoyed their apportionment so you enjoyed your apportionment as enjoyed those who were before you their apportionment. And you engaged in idle talk as they engaged in idle talk. As to those, their actions were fruitless in the present and are such in the world to come. And those, they are the ones who are losers.
