And how many a generation have We destroyed before them, who had better possessions and appearance
Muhammad Ahmed - Samira
And how many We destroyed from before them from people of one era/generation/century? They are better home effects/money and appearance/pleasant appearance
We have destroyed many generations before them who were better in wealth and appearance.
Sayyed Abbas Sadr-Ameli
And how many a generation have We destroyed before them, who were better in equipment and outward appearance
Al-muntakhab fi tafsir al-Qur'an al-Karim
They fail to realize how countless were the generations We destroyed, generations who came to this world before them and were more affluent and enjoyed more splendour
