39:50

قَدْ قَالَهَا ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَمَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ

qad qālahā alladhīna min qablihim famā aghnā ʿanhum mā kānū yaksibūna

Those before them had already said it, but they were not availed by what they used to earn.

— Saheeh International

Those who lived before them said the same. What they did was of no use to them;

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

Verily, those before them said it, yet (all) that they had earned availed them not.

— Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
