Surah al-Ahqaf (Sand Dunes) 46 : 32

وَمَن لَّا يُجِبْ دَاعِىَ ٱللَّهِ فَلَيْسَ بِمُعْجِزٍ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَيْسَ لَهُۥ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ أَوْلِيَآءُ ۚ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ فِى ضَلَٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ

But he who does not respond to the Caller of Allāh cannot frustrate [His Plan] on earth, and he will not have besides Him any protectors. Those are in manifest error."

Explanatory Note

Ibn Ishaq considers that this concludes what the jinn said to their people, but the context suggests that the next two verses were also stated by them. We think that this is more likely, particularly the next verse: "He who does not respond to God's call cannot elude Him on earth, nor will they have any protector against Him. They are indeed in manifest error." 

This is a logical complement to the warning given by the jinn to their people whom they advised to believe in the new message. It is also likely that they explained that a negative response leads to dire consequences. No one who rejects the Divine call can escape God: He is always able to inflict punishment. The unbeliever will find none to support him against God or protect him from His punishment. He is, therefore, indeed in manifest error.
