And you see many of them hastening into sin and aggression and the devouring of [what is] unlawful. How wretched is what they have been doing.

You [Prophet] see many of them rushing into sin and hostility and consuming what is unlawful. How evil their practices are!

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

And you see many of them (Jews) hurrying towards sin and transgression, and eating illegal things [as bribes and Ribâ (usury)]. Evil indeed is that which they have been doing.
