And those before them denied, and the people of Makkah have not (34:45)

﴿وَكَذَّبَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ وَمَا بَلَغُوا مِعْشَارَ مَا آتَيْنَاهُمْ فَكَذَّبُوا رُسُلِي ۖ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِ﴾
[ سبأ: 45]

34:45 And those before them denied, and the people of Makkah have not attained a tenth of what We had given them. But the former peoples denied My messengers, so how [terrible] was My reproach.

And the previous nations such as Aad, Thamud and the people of Lot denied.
And the idolaters from your people have not reached even a tenth of the strength, might and numbers the previous nations reached.
Every one of them denied their Messenger, so the wealth, strength and numbers they were given did not benefit, and so My punishment befell them.
So see the outcome of My reproachment and that of My punishment.

And those before them belied; these have not received one tenth (1/10th) of what We had granted to those (of old), yet they belied My Messengers, then how (terrible) was My denial (punishment)!
