Al-Mu'minun - 23:34

وَلَئِنْ أَطَعْتُم بَشَرًا مِثْلَكُمْ إِنَّكُمْ إِذًا لَّخَاسِرُونَ
[23:34]
And if you obey a mortal like yourselves, then most surely you will be losers:
"If ye obey a man like yourselves, behold, it is certain ye will be lost.
If ye were to obey a mortal like yourselves, then, lo! ye surely would be losers.
