M. H. Shakir, The Holy Quran; Arabic Text and English Translation; Foot-notes by M. H. Shakir (1974)

truly and justly; there is none who can change His words, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

117. And if you obey most of those in the earth, they will lead you astray from Allah’s way; they follow but conjecture and they only lie.

118. Surely your Lord — He best knows who goes astray from His way, and He best knows those who follow the right course.

119. Therefore eat of that on which Allah’s name has been mentioned if you are believers in His communications.

120. And what reason have you that you should not eat of that on which Allah’s name has been mentioned, and He has already made plain to you what He has forbidden to you — excepting what you are compelled to; and most surely many would lead (people) astray by their low desires out of ignorance; surely your Lord — He best knows those who exceed the limits.

121. And abandon open and secret sin; surely they who earn sin shall be recompensed with what they earned.
