فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَهْلَكْنَـٰهُمْ ۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
Faka thth aboohu faahlakn a hum inna fee tha lika la a yatan wam a k a na aktharuhum mumineen a
And so they gave him the lie: and thereupon We destroyed them. In this [story], behold, there is a message [unto men], even though most of them will not believe [in it].61
  - Mohammad Asad

The message referred to here is contained in verses {128-130}, which point out the three cardinal sins resulting from man's inordinate striving for power: worship of anything apart from God, self-admiring search for "glory", and cruelty or harshness towards one's fellow-men.

So they disbelieved him and We utterly destroyed them. Surely in this story there is a great lesson, but most of these people do not learn a lesson and become believers.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
So they rejected him, and 'so' We destroyed them. Surely in this is a sign. Yet most of them would not believe.
  - Mustafa Khattab
And they denied him; therefor We destroyed them. Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
So they rejected him and We destroyed them verily in this is a Sign: but most of them do not believe.
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
