Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
The Envy the Jews Feel Towards Muslims; Their Wicked Plots Against MuslimsAllah states that the Jews envy the faithful and wish they could misguide them. Allah states that the punishment of this behavior will fall back upon them, while they are unaware. Allah criticizes them,يأَهْلَ الْكِتَـبِ لِمَ تَكْفُرُونَ بِأَيَـتِ اللَّهِ وَأَنتُمْ تَشْهَدُونَ(O People of the Scripture!: Why do you disbelieve in the Ayat of Allah, while you bear witness.
