Koran 35:42 — soera Fatir, vers 42

وَأَقۡسَمُواْ بِٱللَّهِ جَهۡدَ أَيۡمَٰنِهِمۡ لَئِن جَآءَهُمۡ نَذِيرٞ لَّيَكُونُنَّ أَهۡدَىٰ مِنۡ إِحۡدَى ٱلۡأُمَمِۖ فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمۡ نَذِيرٞ مَّا زَادَهُمۡ إِلَّا نُفُورًا

En zij legden bij Allah hun meest bindende eed af, dat als er een waarschuwer tot hen kwam, zij meer geleid zouden zijn dan welke natie, toch toen de waarschuwer tot hen kwam, voegde het niets aan hun toe behalve een afkeer.

And they swore by Allah their strongest oaths that if a warner came to them, they would be more guided than [any] one of the [previous] nations. But when a warner came to them, it did not increase them except in aversion
