63:2They treat their oaths as a cover, and so they repel others from God’s path. Evil is what they do.

63:3That is because they believed, and then disbelieved; so their hearts were sealed, and they cannot understand.

63:4When you see them, their appearance impresses you. And when they speak, you listen to what they say. They are like propped-up timber. They think every shout is aimed at them. They are the enemy, so beware of them. God condemns them; how deluded they are!

63:5And when it is said to them, “Come, the Messenger of God will ask forgiveness for you,” they bend their heads, and you see them turning away arrogantly.
