Context in the surah
بَلْ قُلُوبُهُمْ فِي غَمْرَةٍ مِّنْ هَـٰذَا وَلَهُمْ أَعْمَالٌ مِّن دُونِ ذَٰلِكَ هُمْ لَهَا عَامِلُونَ
But their hearts are covered with confusion over this, and they have [evil] deeds besides disbelief which they are doing,
Verse 64حَتَّىٰ إِذَا أَخَذْنَا مُتْرَفِيهِم بِالْعَذَابِ إِذَا هُمْ يَجْأَرُونَ
Until when We seize their affluent ones with punishment, at once they are crying [to Allah] for help.
Verse 65لَا تَجْأَرُوا الْيَوْمَ ۖ إِنَّكُم مِّنَّا لَا تُنصَرُونَ
Do not cry out today. Indeed, by Us you will not be helped.
قَدْ كَانَتْ آيَاتِي تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْكُمْ فَكُنتُمْ عَلَىٰ أَعْقَابِكُمْ تَنكِصُونَ

مُسْتَكْبِرِينَ بِهِ سَامِرًا تَهْجُرُونَ
In arrogance regarding it, conversing by night, speaking evil.
Verse 68أَفَلَمْ يَدَّبَّرُوا الْقَوْلَ أَمْ جَاءَهُم مَّا لَمْ يَأْتِ آبَاءَهُمُ الْأَوَّلِينَ
Then have they not reflected over the Qur'an, or has there come to them that which had not come to their forefathers?
Verse 69أَمْ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا رَسُولَهُمْ فَهُمْ لَهُ مُنكِرُونَ
Or did they not know their Messenger, so they are toward him disacknowledging?
