Quran 17:76 — The Children of Israel (Bani Israel)

وَإِن كادوا لَيَستَفِزّونَكَ مِنَ الأَرضِ لِيُخرِجوكَ مِنها ۖ وَإِذًا لا يَلبَثونَ خِلٰفَكَ إِلّا قَليلًا

They almost banished you from the land to get rid of you, so they could revert as soon as you left.

[17:75] Had you done that, we would have doubled the retribution for you in this life, and after death, and you would have found no one to help you against us.

[17:77] This has been consistently the case with all the messengers that we sent before you, and you will find that our system never changes.
