Al-An'am 157

اَوْ تَقُولُوا لَوْ اَنَّٓا اُنْزِلَ عَلَيْنَا الْكِتَابُ لَكُنَّٓا اَهْدٰى مِنْهُمْۚ فَقَدْ جَٓاءَكُمْ بَيِّنَةٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةٌۚ فَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ كَذَّبَ بِاٰيَاتِ اللّٰهِ وَصَدَفَ عَنْهَاۜ سَنَجْزِي الَّذ۪ينَ يَصْدِفُونَ عَنْ اٰيَاتِنَا سُٓوءَ الْعَذَابِ بِمَا كَانُوا يَصْدِفُونَ ۝١٥٧

157or lest you should say: "If a Book had been sent down to us too, we would have been more rightly guided than they." Now there has come to you from your Lord the Quran, clear evidence of the truth, a guide and a mercy. Who, then, could do greater wrong than one who clings to lies in the face of Allah's verses and turns away from them? We will punish those who turn away from Our verses with a dreadful punishment for this great crime of theirs against them.
