And did not provide benefit to them what they used to earn

We have not created the Heavens and the Earth, and all that lies between them but to manifest the Truth

All they had acquired was of no avail to them.

Then in no way did whatever they used to earn avail them

Out of what they had gained, nothing proved to be of any benefit to them

So, whatever they earned did not come to their help

And of no avail to them was all the power that they had acquired

None of what they used to gain and gather could offer them any security or protection

And what they had (built with so much care and) done was of no use to them

So nothing availed them [from] what they used to earn

What benefit did what they earn make for the

And all they had earned availed them not

So (the riches) they used to earn could not repel (Allah’s punishment) from them

So that all that they had accomplished was of no avail to them

that they earned did not avail them

Neither was what they had wrought of any advantage unto them

And their labours availed them nothing

Nothing did their gains avail them

Everything they had done was of no use to them.

and what they had been earning did not help them out.

Of no avail to them was all that they had acquired.

Their earnings did not save them.

And what they used to earn did not avail them.

And so be it, what they gained of skill and enjoyed of safety did not profit them nor help them accomplish a useful purpose

And of no avail to them was all that they did (with such art and care)

And not availed them what they used (to) earn
