Az-Zumar - 39:25

كَذَّبَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَأَتَاهُمْ الْعَذَابُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ
[39:25]
Those before them rejected (prophets), therefore there came to them the chastisement from whence they perceived not.
Those before them (also) rejected (revelation), and so the Punishment came to them from directions they did not perceive.
Those before them denied, and so the doom came on them whence they knew not.
