The Jews have said, "God's hands are bound." May they themselves be handcuffed and condemned for what they have said! God's hands are free and He distributes His favors to His creatures however He wants. The rebellion and disbelief of many of them will be intensified against you because of what has been revealed to you from your Lord. We have induced hostility and hatred among them which will remain with them up until the Day of Judgment. Whenever they kindle the fire of war, God extinguishes it. They try to destroy the land but God does not love the evil-doers.
و يهود گفتند: «دست خدا بسته است.» دستهاى خودشان بسته باد. و به [سزاى ] آنچه گفتند، از رحمت خدا دور شوند. بلكه هر دو دست او گشاده است، هر گونه بخواهد مى‌بخشد. و قطعاً آنچه از جانب پروردگارت به سوى تو فرود آمده، بر طغيان و كفر بسيارى از ايشان خواهد افزود، و تا روز قيامت ميانشان دشمنى و كينه افكنديم. هر بار كه آتشى براى پيكار برافروختند، خدا آن را خاموش ساخت. و در زمين براى فساد مى‌كوشند. و خدا مفسدان را دوست نمى‌دارد.
