Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

وَلَقَدْ أَخَذْنَـهُمْ بِالْعَذَابِ(And indeed We seized them with punishment,) means, `We tried and tested them with difficulties and calamities.' His saying:فَمَا اسْتَكَانُواْ لِرَبِّهِمْ وَمَا يَتَضَرَّعُونَ(but they humbled not themselves to their Lord, nor did they invoke with submission to Him.
