Translation

Have you not considered those who exchanged the favor of Allah for disbelief and settled their people [in] the home of ruin?

Verse interpretation (Tafsir)

You have seen the circumstance of those who disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger from amongst Quraysh when they rejected Allah’s favor of having kept them safe in the Sacred Precinct. And in sending Muhammad, peace be upon Him, to them, they chose disbelief in His favours when they belied what he had brought them from their Lord. They caused their people that followed them in disbelieving to descend into the abode of destruction.
