فَبِمَا نَقۡضِهِمۡ مِّيۡثَاقَهُمۡ لَعَنّٰهُمۡ وَجَعَلۡنَا قُلُوۡبَهُمۡ قٰسِيَةً ۚ يُحَرِّفُوۡنَ الۡـكَلِمَ عَنۡ مَّوَاضِعِهٖ ۙ وَنَسُوۡا حَظًّا مِّمَّا ذُكِّرُوۡا بِهٖ ۚ وَلَا تَزَالُ تَطَّلِعُ عَلٰى خَآٮِٕنَةٍ مِّنۡهُمۡ اِلَّا قَلِيۡلًا مِّنۡهُمۡ فَاعۡفُ عَنۡهُمۡ وَاصۡفَحۡ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُحِبُّ الۡمُحۡسِنِيۡنَ

So because of their breaking their Pledge We cursed them and made their hearts hard.
They twist the word from its proper places And they forgot what with they were reminded And they continue finding a cheater among them — They all except a few among them — So excuse them and ignore them.
Surely Allah loves the Do-gooders.
