41. Some of them say with their mouths: "We believe," but their hearts are not believers [129]. And some of the Jews listen to the falsehood with deep interest and listen very well to other people [130] who have not come to you. They change the words of Allah from their places and say: "If you are given this command, then accept it, but if you are not given it, then be on your guard" [131]. And whoever Allah wishes to misguide, you will never possess (the power to do) anything for him against Allah [132]. Those are the people whose hearts Allah does not intend to purify [133]. For them is a disgrace in this world, and in the Hereafter, they will face severe punishment.
