The Holy Quran 4:155 — Surah An-Nisa

Arabic text

فَبِمَا نَقْضِهِم مِّيثَـٰقَهُمْ وَكُفْرِهِم بِـَٔايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَقَتْلِهِمُ ٱلْأَنۢبِيَآءَ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ وَقَوْلِهِمْ قُلُوبُنَا غُلْفٌۢ ۚ بَلْ طَبَعَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهَا بِكُفْرِهِمْ فَلَا يُؤْمِنُونَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا

Translation

(The Jews are cursed) Because they broke their pledge, disbelieved in Allaah's Aayaat, unlawfully killed the Ambiya and said, “Our hearts are covered (in a veil so we cannot understand what you say)." Not at all! Rather Allaah had placed a seal upon their hearts because of their (the Jews) kufr. As a result, there are very few of them (Jews) who have Imaan.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

There is a seal on the hearts of the Jews: that is, the Jews broke this covenant, and so, for this breach of covenant, for denying the signs of Allah, for unjustly killing the prophets ﵈ and for their saying “Our hearts are wrapped in coverings,” Almighty Allah inflicted the severest punishments upon them.
