وَلَا تَكُونُوا كَالَّتٖی نَقَضَتْ غَزْلَهَا مِنْ بَعْدِ قُوَّةٍ اَنْكَاثًاؕ تَتَّخِذُونَ اَیْمَانَكُمْ دَخَلًا بَیْنَكُمْ اَنْ تَكُونَ اُمَّةٌ هِیَ اَرْبٰى مِنْ اُمَّةٍؕ اِنَّمَا یَبْلُوكُمُ اللّٰهُ بِهٖؕ وَلَیُبَیِّنَنَّ لَكُمْ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ مَا كُنْتُمْ فٖیهِ تَخْتَلِفُونَ

Translations
And do not be like she who untwisted her spun thread after it was strong [by] taking your oaths as [means of] deceit between you because one community is more plentiful [in number or wealth] than another community. Allah only tries you thereby. And He will surely make clear to you on the Day of Resurrection that over which you used to differ
Saheeh International
And be not like unto her who unravelleth the thread, after she hath made it strong, to thin filaments, making your oaths a deceit between you because of a nation being more numerous than (another) nation. Allah only trieth you thereby, and He verily will explain to you on the Day of Resurrection that wherein ye differed
