Quran 34:9 · Sheba · Makki · Para 22 · Page 429
اَفَلَمْ یَرَوْا اِلٰی مَا بَیْنَ اَیْدِیْهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ وَالْاَرْضِ ؕ اِنْ نَّشَاْ نَخْسِفْ بِهِمُ الْاَرْضَ اَوْ نُسْقِطْ عَلَیْهِمْ كِسَفًا مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ ؕ اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیَةً لِّكُلِّ عَبْدٍ مُّنِیْبٍ ۟۠

Saheeh International
Then, do they not look at what is before them and what is behind them of the heaven and earth? If We should will, We could cause the earth to swallow them or [could] let fall upon them fragments from the sky. Indeed in that is a sign for every servant turning back [to Allāh].
Al-Mukhtasar fi Tafsir
Do these rejectors of resurrection not see the earth that is in front of them and the sky that is above them? If I wished the earth beneath their feet to swallow them up, I would have caused it to happen; and if I wished to send down portions/pieces of the punishment from the heavens, I would have done so. Indeed, there is a clear sign in that for every repentant servant through which he witnesses the power of Allah. The One capable of doing that, is also capable of resurrecting you after your death and the decomposition of your bodies.
