وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَخْذُ رَبِّكَ إِذَآ أَخَذَ ٱلْقُرَىٰ وَهِىَ ظَٰلِمَةٌ إِنَّ أَخْذَهُۥٓ أَلِيمٌ شَدِيدٌ
And thus is the seizure of your Lord when He seizes the cities while they are committing wrong. Indeed, His seizure is painful and severe.

Revelation context of the surah
Surah-wideHud is Meccan, and according to the predominant view it was revealed in the difficult late Meccan years following the boycott and the 'year of sorrow'. Through the stories of the prophets it develops the theme of steadfastness and remaining upright as commanded; the Prophet is reported to have said, 'Hud and its like have made me grow old.'
