فبما نقضهم ميثاقهم لعناهم وجعلنا قلوبهم قاسية يحرفون الكلم عن مواضعه ونسوا حظا مما ذكروا به ولا تزال تطلع على خائنة منهم الا قليلا منهم فاعف عنهم واصفح ان الله يحب المحسنين

But because of their breach Of their Covenant, We Cursed them, and made Their hearts grow hard: They change the words From their (right) places And forget a good part Of the Message that was Sent them, nor wilt thou Cease to find them Barring a few—ever Bent on (new) deceits: But forgive them, and overlook (Their misdeeds): for God Loveth those who are kind.
