What they used to conceal before will become clear to them. And even if they were sent back, they would revert to what they were forbidden. They are liars

Nay, but that hath become clear unto them which before they used to hide. And if they were sent back they would return unto that which they are forbidden. Lo! they are liars
Translation · Marmaduke Pickthall (1930)Public Domain
Aye! that hath become clear to them which they before concealed; but though they should return, they would surely go back to that which was forbidden them; for they are surely liars
Translation · John Medows Rodwell (1861)Public Domain
Nay! now is shown to them what they did hide before; and could they be sent back, they would return to that they were forbidden, for they are very liars
