And do not take your oaths as [means of] deceit between you, lest a foot slip after it was [once] firm, and you would taste evil [in this world] for what [people] you diverted from the way of Allāh,1 and you would have [in the Hereafter] a great punishment.
وَلَا And (do) not walā exchange tashtarū the covenant biʿahdi (of) Allah l-lahi (for) a price thamanan little qalīlan Indeed, what innamā (is) with ʿinda Allah l-lahi it huwa (is) better khayrun for you lakum if in you were (to) kuntum know taʿlamūna

So when you recite the Qur’ān, [first] seek refuge in Allāh from Satan, the expelled [from His mercy].

Indeed, there is for him no authority over those who have believed and rely upon their Lord.
إِنَّمَا Only innamā his authority sul'ṭānuhu (is) over ʿalā those who alladhīna take him as an ally yatawallawnahu and those who wa-alladhīna [they] hum with Him bihi associate partners mush'rikūna
His authority is only over those who take him as an ally and those who through him associate others with Allāh.

And when We substitute a verse in place of a verse - and Allāh is most knowing of what He sends down - they say, "You, [O Muḥammad], are but an inventor [of lies]." But most of them do not know.
