the like of what happened to Noah's people, and to [the tribes of] 'Ad and Thamud and those who came after them! And, withal. God does not will any wrong for His creatures22
  - Mohammad Asad

I.e., those sinners were not wronged by what befell them in this world: they had deserved it. The next two verses refer to the Day of Judgment.

such as the people of Nuh, `Ad and Thamud and those who came after them, and Allah does not intend to wrong His servants.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
like the fate of the people of Noah, 'Ȃd, Thamûd, and those after them. For Allah would never will to wrong 'His' servants.
  - Mustafa Khattab
A plight like that of Noah's folk, and Aad and Thamud, and those after them, and Allah willeth no injustice for (His) slaves.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
"Something like the fate of the people of Noah the `Ad and the Thamud and those who came after them: but Allah never wishes injustice to His Servants. 4403
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

'All these disasters happened in history, and they will happen again to you if you do not give up evil. Do not for a moment think that Allah is unjust. It is you who are deliberately preparing the disasters by your conduct.'
