6:129

وَكَذَٰلِكَ نُوَلِّى بَعْضَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ بَعْضًۢا بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ

wakadhālika nuwallī baʿḍa l-ẓālimīna baʿḍan bimā kānū yaksibūna

And thus will We make some of the wrongdoers allies of others for what they used to earn.

— Saheeh International

In this way, We make some evildoers have power over others through their misdeeds.

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

And thus We do make the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers) Auliyâ’ (supporters and helpers) of one another (in committing crimes), because of that which they used to earn.

— Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
