9* Fain would they deceive Allah and those who believe, but they only deceive themselves, and realize (it) not!  
| |10* In their hearts is a disease; and Allah has increased their disease: And grievous is the penalty they (incur), because they are false (to themselves).  
| |11* When it is said to them: "Make not mischief on the earth," they say: "Why, we only want to make peace!"  
| |12* Of a surety, they are the ones who make mischief, but they realize (it) not.  
| |13* When it is said to them: "Believe as the others believe:" They say: "Shall we believe as the fools believe?" Nay, of a surety they are the fools, but they do not know.  
| |14* When they meet those who believe, they say: "We believe;" but when they are alone with their evil ones, they say: "We are really with you: We (were) only jesting."  
| |15* Allah will throw back their mockery on them, and give them rope in their trespasses; so they will wander like blind ones (to and fro).  
| |16* These are they who have bartered Guidance for error: But their traffic is profitless, and they have lost true direction,  
| |17* Their similitude is that of a man who kindled a fire; when it lighted all around him, Allah took away their light and left them in utter darkness. So they could not see.  
| |18* Deaf, dumb, and blind, they will not return (to the path).
