Surah Al-Baqara (2) — Ayah 175
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱشْتَرَوُا۟ ٱلضَّلَـٰلَةَ بِٱلْهُدَىٰ وَٱلْعَذَابَ بِٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ ۚ فَمَآ أَصْبَرَهُمْ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ ﴿175﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Those are they who have purchased error at the price of Guidance, and torment at the price of Forgiveness. So how bold they are (for evil deeds which will push them) to the Fire.

175. They are the ones [219] who have exchanged guidance for misguidance and forgiveness for punishment. How patient they are in facing the Fire!
[219] That is, the scholars and leaders who hide the signs of Allah and mislead people, and who receive offerings from people through false interpretations, even though they know very well how severe the punishment is for their actions. Despite this, they do not refrain from such deeds; their audacity is truly astonishing.
