➋ {وَ اَكْلِهِمْ اَمْوَالَ النَّاسِ بِالْبَاطِلِ:} That is, bribery, gambling, deception, and consuming people's wealth through other unlawful means. There are two types of sins: oppression against creation and turning away from the truth. The above verse: «وَ بِصَدِّهِمْ عَنْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ» (because of their excessive hindering from Allah's path) points towards oppression against creation, and the rest is related to {’’اعراض عن الحق‘‘}.

[211] Regarding the usury and unlawful consumption by the Jews, see the footnotes number 66 and 67 of verse number 75 of Surah Aal-e-Imran.
[212]
Humiliation and Misery:
Even today, the Jews are the biggest usurers, unlawful consumers, and the wealthiest nation in the world, but despite their wealth, the Jews have always been defeated and have never been able to live a life of peace anywhere. The present-day Jewish state of Israel that has been established is also established by other governments and is running under their protection, and most countries have not yet recognized this usurping government. This punishment has been given to them in this world. And in the Hereafter, in any case, they will definitely receive the punishment for all their disobedience and breaches of covenant.
