اتَّخَذُوا
أَيْمَانَهُمْ
جُنَّةً
فَصَدُّوا
عَن
سَبِيلِ
اللَّهِ
فَلَهُمْ
عَذَابٌ
مُّهِينٌ

They have made their oaths a screen (for their misdeeds): thus they obstruct (men) from the Path of Allah: therefore shall they have a humiliating Penalty.
— Abdullah Yusufali
They make a shield of their oaths and bar [people] from the way of Allah; so there is a humiliating punishment for them.
