Announce to the hypocrites that they shall have a painful chastisement: / Those who take the unbelievers for guardians rather than believers. Do they seek honor from them? Then surely all honor is for Allah.

O you who believe! shall I lead you to a merchandise which may deliver you from a painful chastisement? / You shall believe in Allah and H,is Apostle, and struggle hard in Allah's way with your property and your lives; that is better for you, did you but know! / He will forgive you your faults and cause you to enter into gardens, beneath which rivers flow, and goodly dwellings in gardens of perpetuity; that is the mighty achievement; / And yet another (blessing) that you love: help from Allah and a victory near at hand; and give good news to the believers.

These it is that are truly unbelievers, and We have prepared for the unbelievers a disgraceful chastisement.

And (as for) those who strive hard in opposing Our communications, these it is for whom is a painful chastisement of an evil kind.

When those who were followed shall renounce those who followed (them), and they see the chastisement and their ties are cut asunder.

That is because Allah is the Protector of those who believe, and because the unbelievers shall have no protector for them.
