Then We fulfilled Our promise to them, and We delivered them and whomever We wished, and We destroyed the transgressors.

Surah Al-’Anbiya’ – Verse 9
9. “Then We fulfilled the promise unto them. So We delivered them and whomever We would, and We destroyed the extravagant ones.”
Then, as a threat and a warning, the Qur’an says to the obstinate and pertinacious rejecters of the Truth that Allah had promised the prophets to relieve them from the grips of their enemies and make their enemies’ plans futile. It says:
Yes, alike the Allah’s way of treatment, which was choosing prophets, the leaders of humankind, from among human beings, this was also the Allah’s way of treatment that He would support His Messengers against the plots of their opponents. And, if their frequent advices did not affect on them, He would clear out the surface of the ground from the dirt of their beings.
