002.010 Y:  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).

002.011 Y:  When it is said to them:  “Make not mischief on the earth,” they say:  “Why, we only Want to make peace!”

P:  And when it is said unto them:  Make not mischief in the earth, they say:  We are peacemakers only.

S:  And when it is said to them, Do not make mischief in the land, they say:  We are but peace-makers.

002.012 Y:  Of a surety, they are the ones who make mischief, but they realise (it) not.

002.014 Y:  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.”

002.015 Y:  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).

002.016 Y:  These are they who have bartered Guidance for error:  But their traffic is profitless, and they have lost true direction,

P:  These are they who purchase error at the price of guidance, so their commerce doth not prosper, neither are they guided.
