سورة الأعراف، الآية ١٦٩Surah Al-A'raf, ayah 169 (7:169)
فَخَلَفَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِمۡ خَلۡفٌ وَرِثُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ يَأۡخُذُونَ عَرَضَ هَٰذَا ٱلۡأَدۡنَىٰ وَيَقُولُونَ سَيُغۡفَرُ لَنَا وَإِن يَأۡتِهِمۡ عَرَضٌ مِّثۡلُهُۥ يَأۡخُذُوهُ أَلَمۡ يُؤۡخَذۡ عَلَيۡهِم مِّيثَٰقُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ أَن لَّا يَقُولُواْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا ٱلۡحَقَّ وَدَرَسُواْ مَا فِيهِ وَٱلدَّارُ ٱلۡـَٔاخِرَةُ خَيۡرٌ لِّلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ ١٦٩
The meaning in English
Then after them succeeded an (evil) generation, which inherited the Book, but they chose (for themselves) the goods of this low life (evil pleasures of this world) saying (as an excuse): "(Everything) will be forgiven to us." And if (again) the offer of the like (evil pleasures of this world) came their way, they would (again) seize them (would commit those sins). Was not the covenant of the Book taken from them that they would not say about Allâh anything but the truth? And they have studied what is in it (the Book). And the home of the Hereafter is better for those who are Al-Muttaqûn (the pious - See V.2:2). Do not you then understand?

التفسير الميسر
فجاء من بعد هؤلاء الذين وصفناهم بَدَلُ سوء أخذوا الكتاب من أسلافهم، فقرءوه وعلموه، وخالفوا حكمه، يأخذون ما يعرض لهم من متاع الدنيا من دنيء المكاسب كالرشوة وغيرها؛ وذلك لشدة حرصهم ونَهَمهم، ويقولون مع ذلك: إن الله سيغفر لنا ذنوبنا تمنيًا على الله الأباطيل، وإن يأت هؤلاء اليهودَ متاعٌ زائلٌ من أنواع الحرام يأخذوه ويستحلوه، مصرِّين على ذنوبهم وتناولهم الحرام، ألَمْ يؤخذ على هؤلاء العهود بإقامة التوراة والعمل بما فيها، وألا يقولوا على الله إلا الحق وألا يكذبوا عليه، وعلموا ما في الكتاب فضيعوه، وتركوا العمل به، وخالفوا عهد الله إليهم في ذلك؟ والدار الآخرة خير للذين يتقون الله، فيمتثلون أوامره، ويجتنبون نواهيه، أفلا يعقل هؤلاء الذين يأخذون دنيء المكاسب أن ما عند الله خير وأبقى للمتقين؟
