Verset: 82

وَكَانُواْ يَنۡحِتُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا ءَامِنِينَ

(82) They were used to carve homes out of mountains ˹feeling thus˺ secure!^[3179]

[3179] These mountainous ‘strongholds’ gave them a false sense of security against, what they perceived as, all evils. Thus they felt shielded against any eventuality; be it God Almighty’s Punishment (cf. al-Ṭabarī); that they would cave in on them (cf. al-Qurṭubī); of death itself (cf. al-Ṭabarī, al-Qurṭubī), and/or from all fears and calamities (cf. al-Ṭabarī, al-Qurṭubī). Thus, they falsely felt untouchable (cf. al-Baiḍāwī).
