كَالَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ كَانُواْ أَشَدَّ مِنكُمْ قُوَّةً وَأَكْثَرَ أَمْوَالاً وَأَوْلاَدًا فَاسْتَمْتَعُواْ بِخَلاقِهِمْ فَاسْتَمْتَعْتُم بِخَلاَقِكُمْ كَمَا اسْتَمْتَعَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ بِخَلاَقِهِمْ وَخُضْتُمْ كَالَّذِي خَاضُواْ أُوْلَـئِكَ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَالُهُمْ فِي الُّدنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ وَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ

The Aya says:
Like those before you (plural). They were stronger than you and had more money and children so they fulfilled their needs with what they got, so you fulfilled needs with what you got as fulfilled needs the ones before you with what they got and you waded like they waded. Their works became annulled in this life and the next and they are the losers.
My personal note:
It brings to the people of Arabia examples of the people before who did the same things nearly and who were stronger and more successful but wasted what they got in pursuit of this life but ignored the next life.
It reminds us that we have to use what we got as a tool for the next life and not as a goal in and of themselves for this life.
The term KHADOO is related to wading through shallow water as one of the concrete usages of the word. Probably the relationship is that wading through shallow water can be tricky at times. It makes us feel safe but we do not know what hides underneath and we think we have a good grasp of the water when there are many other tricky things going on. As if to say, walking on dry land is always much better and safer than wading especially if the option of walking on dry land is available.
