And call to mind when We took your Pledge
And raised above you the mountain (= Brought you to the foothills and said)
“Hold with strength what We give you and listen.”
They said, “We have heard. And we have disobeyed.”
And their hearts were imbibed with the love of calf due to their disbelief.
Tell them, “Evil is with which your faith enjoins you
If you have been believers in any faith at all.”
