These verses are to forbid us to support those who betray themselves and souls.

      In the cause of the revelation that was mentioned above, the betrayal was charged on others, and Ta'ima had put the blame that he deserved, upon a guiltless Jew, but here the verse turns, THE OTHER - to - THEMSELVES, which implies that whatever of bad or good we do, its reflection will return back to our own self and soul. If we do good to others, as a matter of fact, we do it to our own self and soul, and if we do bad to others, its consequences will be reflected back to us.

      Another point that is worthy of note here is that; those who have betrayed themselves, or others, for the first time, must be given a chance to repent and an opportunity to amend themselves. But if they were found continuing with betrayal, then they are to be dealt with otherwise, and according to the principles of justice, which is taught by Allah. This is the stage wherein the betrayers are not ashamed of God, but they are ashamed of people! of course their plots are fully known to God, and if He allows them to betray, is not because God has not full control over them. It may rather depend on the general plan of God of which we may see only a small part.
