Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Striking Hard against Those Who disbelieve and break the CovenantsAllah states here that the worst moving creatures on the face of the earth are those who disbelieve, who do not embrace the faith, and break promises whenever they make a covenant, even when they vow to keep them, وَهُمْ لاَ يَتَّقُونَ(and they do not have Taqwa) meaning they do not fear Allah regarding any of the sins they commit.
