quran:17:17 –

And how many have We destroyed from the generations after Noah. And sufficient is your Lord, concerning the sins of His servants, as Acquainted and Seeing.  

How many — in other words, many — generations, communities, We have destroyed since Noah! And your Lord suffices as One Informed and Beholder of the sins of His servants, Knower of the hidden and manifest aspects of these ˹sins˺ (bi-rabbika, ‘your Lord’, is semantically connected to bi-dhunūb, ‘of the sins’).
القرآن:١٧:١٧ –

وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِنَ الْقُرُونِ مِنْ بَعْدِ نُوحٍ ۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِرَبِّكَ بِذُنُوبِ عِبَادِهِ خَبِيرًا بَصِيرًا  

{وكم} أي كثيرا {أهلكنا من القرون} الأمم {من بعد نوح وكفى بربك بذنوب عباده خبيرا بصيرا} عالما ببواطنها وظواهرها وبه يتعلق بذنوب.
