| Dr Kamal Omar Those are they who have purchased ignorance in place of guidance, so their business brought no profit, and they were not those who find guidance |
| Dr Laleh Bakhtiar Those are those who bought fallacy for guidance, so their trade was not bettered nor had they been ones who are truly guided |
| Dr Munir Munshey Such ones have traded away the guidance for fallacy and falsehood. Gain is not what their bargain brought them. They are not guided |
| Edward Henry Palmer Those who buy error for guidance, their traffic profits not, and they are not guided |
| Farook Malik These are the people who barter guidance for error: but their bargain is profitless and they are not going to be guided |
| George Sale These are the men who have purchased error at the price of true direction: But their traffick hath not been gainful, neither have they been rightly directed |
| Maududi These are the people who have bartered away Guidance for error, but this is a profitless bargain that they have made, and they are not at all on the right way |
