Explanatory translation

13They never gave up their transgression, insolence, shirk, and disbelief. That is why your Lord poured down calamities upon them as a scourge of punishment. He punished them with the torment they deserved: ‘Ad with a raging windstorm, Thamud with a terrible quake, and Pharaoh by drowning him in the sea together with his army. Their power, their wealth, and their armies could not save them. The wrongdoing peoples who come after them will also be punished with many similar calamities.
