Sam Gerrans - The Qur'an: A Complete Revelation

Hast thou not considered those who take as allies a people with whom God is wroth? They are neither of you nor of them; and they swear to lies, and they know.

اَلَمْ تَرَ اِلَى الَّذ۪ينَ تَوَلَّوْا قَوْماً غَضِبَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِمْۜ مَا هُمْ مِنْكُمْ وَلَا مِنْهُمْۙ وَيَحْلِفُونَ عَلَى الْـكَذِبِ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ
