سورة الإسراء، الآية ١٦Surah Al-Isra, ayah 16 (17:16)
وَإِذَآ أَرَدۡنَآ أَن نُّهۡلِكَ قَرۡيَةً أَمَرۡنَا مُتۡرَفِيهَا فَفَسَقُواْ فِيهَا فَحَقَّ عَلَيۡهَا ٱلۡقَوۡلُ فَدَمَّرۡنَٰهَا تَدۡمِيرًا ١٦
The meaning in English
And when We decide to destroy a town (population), We (first) send a definite order (to obey Allâh and be righteous) to those among them [or We (first) increase in number those of its population] who lead a life of luxury. Then, they transgress therein, and thus the word (of torment) is justified against it (them). Then We destroy it with complete destruction.

التفسير الميسر
وإذا أردنا إهلاك أهل قرية لظلمهم أَمَرْنا مترفيهم بطاعة الله وتوحيده وتصديق رسله، وغيرهم تبع لهم، فعصَوا أمر ربهم وكذَّبوا رسله، فحقَّ عليهم القول بالعذاب الذي لا مردَّ له، فاستأصلناهم بالهلاك التام
