quran:43:8

And We destroyed greater than them in ˹striking˺ power, and the example of the former peoples has preceded.  

So We destroyed those who were mightier than them — than your people — in prowess, strength, and ˹already˺ there passed, there has been mentioned in previous verses, the example of the ancients, the description of how they were destroyed, and thus the sequel for your people will be the same.
القرآن:٤٣:٨

فَأَهْلَكْنَا أَشَدَّ مِنْهُمْ بَطْشًا وَمَضَىٰ مَثَلُ الْأَوَّلِينَ  

{فأهلكنا أشد منهم} من قومك {بطشاً} قوة {ومضى} سبق في آيات {مثل الأولين} صفتهم في الإهلاك فعاقبة قومك كذلك.
