9They have taken a paltry price for the verses of Allah, so they have prevented (people) from His path. Indeed, evil is what they have been doing. 10They do not observe any bond or treaty with a believer; and they are the transgressors.

Commentary
They exchanged the verses of Allah for a small price, which is following desires and lusts. So they turned others away from His path, or they diverted from it. It is said that they are the Bedouins whom Abu Sufyan gathered and fed. They are the transgressors, exceeding the limits in injustice and wickedness.
