quran:43:60 –

And if We willed, We could have made ˹instead˺ of you angels succeeding ˹one another˺ on the earth.  

And had We willed, We would have appointed among you, instead of you, angels to be ˹your˺ successors in the earth, by Our destroying you.
القرآن:٤٣:٦٠ –

وَلَوْ نَشَاءُ لَجَعَلْنَا مِنْكُمْ مَلَائِكَةً فِي الْأَرْضِ يَخْلُفُونَ  

{ولو نشاء لجعلنا منكم} بدلكم {ملائكة في الأرض يخلفون} بأن نهلككم.
