An-Nazi'at 79:23–26
"I am your lord, most high"
فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ ٢٣ فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ ٢٤ فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ ٢٥ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةًۭ لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ ٢٦
The meaning, simply
Pharaoh gathered the people of his kingdom and called out: 'I am your lord, most high!' So Allah punished him in this world and the next, and made him a lesson for others. In that is a lesson for whoever fears Allah.
