And when we took a covenant from you that you shall not shed each other's blood and evict each other from your homes, you then agreed and testified.

However, here you are killing each other and evicting a group amongst you from their homes treating them sinfully and with animosity. And if you took them captive, you demanded ransom from them, and it was forbidden for you to evict them. Do you believe in one part of the scripture while rejecting another part? Then, what is the requital for the one amongst you who does this, other than humiliation in this worldly life? And on the Day of Resurrection, they will face the ultimate suffering. And God is not unaware of anything you do.

These are the ones who preferred this worldly life to the Hereafter. Consequently, the suffering will not be reduced for them, nor will they be helped.

And surely We gave Moses the scripture and sent messengers after him and We gave Jesus, son of Mary, proofs and helped him with the Holy Spirit. Is it always your way that every time a messenger came to you with what you did not desire, you turned arrogant, then you rejected some and you murdered some?

And they said our minds are made up. On the contrary it is God who has put a curse upon them because of their lack of faith, consequently only a few will attain faith.

And when a scripture was revealed to them from God, confirming what they already upheld; and in fact, they were prophesizing it to the unfaithful, however, when it did come and they recognized it, they rejected it. Consequently, God's curse is upon the unfaithful.

They certainly made a poor choice by rejecting what God has revealed, because they were jealous that God bestows from His bounty to whomever He wills from amongst His servants. Consequently, they received wrath upon wrath, and awaiting the unfaithful is a humiliating suffering.

And when they were told; believe in what God has revealed, they said, we believe only in what was revealed to us and reject what is revealed afterwards, despite the fact that it is the truth, confirming what they already uphold. Say, then why did you murder God's prophets in the past if you were faithful?

And when Moses came to you with proofs, you preferred the calf in his absence and you were transgressors.

And when We took a covenant from you and raised the mountain above you, uphold what is revealed to you firmly, and listen. They said we hear but disobey, and the calf captivated their minds due to their lack of faith. Say, how terrible is what your belief commands you, if you are believers.
