And they thought there would be no [resulting] punishment, so they became (5:71)

﴿وَحَسِبُوا أَلَّا تَكُونَ فِتْنَةٌ فَعَمُوا وَصَمُّوا ثُمَّ تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ عَمُوا وَصَمُّوا كَثِيرٌ مِّنْهُمْ ۚ وَاللَّهُ بَصِيرٌ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ﴾
[ المائدة: 71]

5:71 And they thought there would be no [resulting] punishment, so they became blind and deaf. Then Allah turned to them in forgiveness; then [again] many of them became blind and deaf. And Allah is Seeing of what they do.

They thought that no harm would come to them for their breaking promises and covenants and for disbelieving and killing their prophets.
But the result of their actions was that they became blind and deaf to the truth and misled from guidance.
Then Allah turned towards them out of His grace.
They again then became blind and deaf to the truth.
This happened to many of them.
Allah sees what they do.
Nothing is hidden from Him and He will repay them for their actions.

They thought there will be no Fitnah (trial or punishment), so they became blind and deaf; after that Allah turned to them (with Forgiveness); yet again many of them became blind and deaf. And Allah is the All-Seer of what they do.
