Sura al-Anbiyāʾ 21:17

لَوْ أَرَدْنَآ أَن نَّتَّخِذَ لَهْوًا لَّٱتَّخَذْنَٰهُ مِن لَّدُنَّآ إِن كُنَّا فَٰعِلِينَ

law aradnā an nnattakhidha lahwan la-ittakhadhnāhu min lladunnā in kunnā fāʿilīna

If it had been Our wish to take (just) a pastime, We should surely have taken it from the things nearest to Us, if We would do (such a thing)!
