Sahih International:

Similar situations [as yours] have passed on before you, so proceed throughout the earth and observe how was the end of those who denied. (Ali 'Imran [3] : 137)

1 Mufti Taqi Usmani

Many patterns of behavior have passed before you. So, traverse the land and see what was the fate of those who rejected (the prophets).
