وَتَرَىٰ كَثِيرًا مِّنْهُمْ يُسَـٰرِعُونَ فِى ٱلْإِثْمِ وَٱلْعُدْوَٰنِ وَأَكْلِهِمُ ٱلسُّحْتَ ۚ لَبِئْسَ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ Qur’an Al-Ma'ida (5:62)
Watar a katheeran minhum yus a riAAoona fee alithmi wa a lAAudw a ni waaklihimu a l ssu h ta labisa m a k a noo yaAAmaloon a
And thou canst see many of them vie with one another in sinning and tyrannical conduct and in their swallowing of all that is evil.
  - Mohammad Asad

You will see many of them try to beat each other in sin and rancor, and they consume what is unlawful. Evil indeed is what they do.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
You see many of them racing towards sin, transgression, and consumption of forbidden gain. Evil indeed are their actions!
  - Mustafa Khattab

And thou seest many of them vying one with another in sin and transgression and their devouring of illicit gain. Verily evil is what they do.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall

Many of them dost thou see racing each other in sin and rancor and their eating of things forbidden. Evil indeed are the things that they do. 771
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Eating of things forbidden: may be construed in a literal or a figurative sense. From its juxtaposition with sin and hatred, it is better to construe it in a figurative sense, as referring to their fraudulent misappropriations of other people's property or trust property. "Eating" is used in v. 66 below in the general sense of enjoyment and happiness.
