And We have already destroyed what surrounds you of [those] cities, and We have diversified the signs [or verses] that perhaps they might return [from disbelief].
— Saheeh International
We have also destroyed other communities that once flourished around you- We had given them various signs so that they might return to the right way-
— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem
And indeed We have destroyed towns (populations) round about you, and We have (repeatedly) shown (them) the Ayât (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) in various ways that they might return (to the truth and believe in the Oneness of Allâh - Islâmic Monotheism).
— Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
