When it is said to them, ‘Believe, as the others believe,’ they say, ‘Should we believe as the fools do?’ but they are the fools, though they do not know it. 14. When they meet the believers, they say, ‘We believe,’ but when they are alone with their evil ones, they say, ‘We’re really with you; we were only mocking.’ 15. God is mocking them, and allowing them more slack to wander blindly in their insolence. 16. They have bought error in exchange for guidance, so their trade reaps no profit, and they are not rightly guided.
