And the dwellers of the most elevated places shall ca!l out to men whom they will recognize by their marks saying: Of no avail were to you your amassings and your behaving haughtily:

And what they earned did not avail them.

That which they were made to enjoy shall not avail them?

Those before them did say it indeed, but what they earned availed them not.

Have they not then journeyed in the land and seen how was the end of those before them? They were more (in numbers) than these and greater in strength and in fortifications in the land, but what they earned did not avail them.

And certainly We had established them in what We have not established you in, and We had given-- them ears and eyes and hearts, but neither their ears, nor their eyes, nor their hearts availed them aught, since they denied the communications of Allah, and that which they mocked encompassed them.

And that He it is Who enriches and gives to hold;

My wealth has availed me nothing:

And find you in want and make you to be free from want?

His wealth and what he earns will not avail him.
