Quran 38:3 — Surah Sad, ayah 3

كَمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِهِم مِّن قَرۡنٖ فَنَادَواْ وَّلَاتَ حِينَ مَنَاصٖ

How many a generation have We destroyed before them, and they [then] called out; but it was not a time for escape

Koliko smo Mi naroda prije njih uništili. I oni su za pomoć vapili, ali je bilo kasno!
