﴿ هَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن تَأْتِيَهُمُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ أَوْ يَأْتِىَ أَمْرُ رَبِّكَ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ فَعَلَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ وَمَا ظَلَمَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَلَٰكِن كَانُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ ﴾

“ARE THEY [who deny the truth] but waiting for the angels to appear unto them, or for God's judgment to become manifest? Even thus did behave those [stubborn sinners] who lived before their time; and [when they were destroyed,] it was not God who wronged them, but it was they who had wronged themselves:”

(Await they) what are the people of Mecca waiting for after their disbelief (aught save that the angels should come unto them) to take away their souls (or your Lord's command should come to pass?) or that the chastisement of your Lord should come to destroy them. (Even so) just as your people denied you and vilified you so (did those before them) they denied their prophets and vilified them. (Allah wronged them not) when He destroyed them, (but they did wrong themselves) through their idolatry and denial of the prophets,
