Translation of Surah Al-Hashr, ayah 15 (59:15)

كَمَثَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡ قَرِيبٗاۖ ذَاقُواْ وَبَالَ أَمۡرِهِمۡ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ ١٥
They are ˹both just˺ like those who recently went down before them:1 they tasted the evil consequences of their doings. And they will suffer a painful punishment.
