سُوْرَةُ الْاَعْرَافِ
Surah Al-A'raaf (7) — Ayah 165
فَلَمَّا نَسُوا۟ مَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ بِهِۦٓ أَنجَيْنَا ٱلَّذِينَ يَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ ٱلسُّوٓءِ وَأَخَذْنَا ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ بِعَذَابٍۭ بَـِٔيسٍۭ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْسُقُونَ ﴿165﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
So when they forgot the remindings that had been given to them, We rescued those who forbade evil, but We seized those who did wrong with a severe torment because they used to rebel against Allâh’s Command (disobey Allâh).

165. 1. That is, they paid no heed to admonition and advice and persisted in disobedience.
165. 2. That is, they were also wrongdoers; by committing disobedience to Allah, they wronged their own souls and made themselves fuel for Hell. And they were also defiantly disobedient, as they made defiance of Allah's commands their habit and way.
