Surah Al-Mai'dah (The Spread Table), Verse 70

لَقَدْ اَخَذْنَا مِیْثَاقَ بَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ وَاَرْسَلْنَاۤ اِلَیْهِمْ رُسُلًا كُلَّمَا جَآءَهُمْ رَسُوْلٌۢ بِمَا لَا تَهْوٰۤی اَنْفُسُهُمْ فَرِیْقًا كَذَّبُوْا وَفَرِیْقًا یَّقْتُلُوْنَ ۟

Laqad akhaznaa meesaaqa Banee Israaa'eela wa arsalnaaa ilaihim Rusulan kullamaa jaaa'ahum Rasoolum bimaa laa tahwaaa anfusuhum fareeqan kazzaboo wa fareeqany yaqtuloon

We took the covenant of the Children of Israel and sent them messengers, every time, there came to them a messenger with what they themselves desired not - some (of these) they called impostors, and some they (go so far as to) slay.
