(Consequences of Violating God’s Covenant)
It was a consequence of their violating the covenant that we condemned them, and we caused their hearts to become hardened. Consequently, they took the words out of context, and disregarded some of the commandments given to them. You will continue to witness betrayal from them, excepting a few of them. You shall pardon them, and disregard them. God loves those who are benevolent.
فَبِما نَقضِهِم ميثٰقَهُم لَعَنّٰهُم وَجَعَلنا قُلوبَهُم قٰسِيَةً يُحَرِّفونَ الكَلِمَ عَن مَواضِعِهِ وَنَسوا حَظًّا مِمّا ذُكِّروا بِهِ وَلا تَزالُ تَطَّلِعُ عَلىٰ خائِنَةٍ مِنهُم إِلّا قَليلًا مِنهُم فَاعفُ عَنهُم وَاصفَح إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ المُحسِنينَ
