keep your duty to Allah if ye are true believers.

59. Say: O, People of the Scripture! Do ye blame us for aught else than that we
believe in Allah and that which is revealed unto us and that which was revealed
aforetime, and because most of you are evil livers?
Yusuf Ali
59. Say: "O People of the Book! do ye disapprove of us for no other reason than
that we believe in Allah and the revelation that hath come to us and that which

M.Pickthall
60. Shall I tell thee of a worse (case) than theirs for retribution with Allah?
Worse (is the case of him) whom Allah hath cursed, him on whom His wrath hath
fallen! Worse is he of whose sort Allah hath turned some to apes and swine, and
who serveth idols. Such are in worse plight and further astray from the plain road.
Yusuf Ali
60. Say: "Shall I point out to you something much worse than this (as judged)
by the treatment it received from Allah? Those who incurred the curse of Allah
and His wrath those of whom some He transformed into apes and swine those who
worshipped Evil; these are (many times) worse in rank and far more astray from
the even Path!
M.Pickthall

mind against Faith and they go out with the same: but Allah knoweth fully all
that they hide.

and their devouring of illicit gain. Verily evil is what they do.
Yusuf Ali
62. Many of them dost thou see racing each other in sin and rancor and their
eating of things forbidden. Evil indeed are the things that they do.
M.Pickthall
63. Why do not the rabbis and the priests forbid their evil speaking and their
devouring of illicit gain? Verily evil is their handiwork.
Yusuf Ali
63. Why do not the Rabbis and the doctors of laws forbid them from their (habit
of) uttering sinful words and eating things forbidden? Evil indeed are their works.
