Verse 49of 206

أَهَٰٓؤُلَآءِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَقْسَمْتُمْ لَا يَنَالُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِرَحْمَةٍ ۚ ٱدْخُلُوا۟ ٱلْجَنَّةَ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَآ أَنتُمْ تَحْزَنُونَ﴿٤٩

Translation (Sahih International)

[Allah will say], "Are these the ones whom you [inhabitants of Hell] swore that Allah would never offer them mercy? Enter Paradise, [O People of the Elevations]. No fear will there be concerning you, nor will you grieve."

Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

مَآ أَغْنَى عَنكُمْ جَمْعُكُمْ("Of what benefit to you was your gathering...") meaning, your great numbers, وَمَا كُنتُمْ تَسْتَكْبِرُونَ("...and your arrogance") This Ayah means, your great numbers and wealth did not save you from Allah's torment. Rather, you are dwelling in His torment and punishment.
