6:10

وَلَقَدِ ٱسْتُهْزِئَ بِرُسُلٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَحَاقَ بِٱلَّذِينَ سَخِرُوا۟ مِنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ

walaqadi us'tuh'zi-a birusulin min qablika faḥāqa bi-alladhīna sakhirū min'hum mā kānū bihi yastahziūna

And already were messengers ridiculed before you, but those who mocked them were enveloped by that which they used to ridicule.

— Saheeh International

Messengers have been mocked before you [Muhammad], and those who mocked them were engulfed by the very punishment they had mocked.

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

And indeed (many) Messengers before you were mocked at, but their scoffers were surrounded by the very thing that they used to mock at.

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