TRANSLATION:
[3:118]
O you who believe, do not take anyone as an insider but those from among your own selves. They would spare no effort to do you mischief. They want you to be in trouble. Malice has come out of their mouths while what is concealed in their hearts is still worse. We have made the signs clear to you, if only you understand.
[3:119]
Look, you are the ones who love them and they do not love you. You believe in all the books; (On the other hand,) when they meet you, they say, "We believe", and when they are alone, they bite their finger-tips out of rage against you. Say, "May you perish in your rage". Surely, Allah is All-Aware of what lies in the hearts.
[3:120]
If something good happens to you, it annoys them, and if something evil befalls you, they are delighted with it. If you keep patience and fear Allah, their cunning shall not harm you at all. Allah is All-Encompassing of what they do.

INTERPRETATION:
{39} The tribes of Aws and Khazarj which lived in Medinah had had
friendly terms with the People of the Book for ages. When people of these
tribes converted to Islam they still maintained their friendly relations with the
People of the Book. On other hand, while these People of the Book maintained
superficial friendship with them, and some of them even pretended to have
converted to Islam, but in their hearts they carried a lot of grudge against Muslims.
Sometimes it happened that some Muslims, in their naivety, shared some secrets
of their own community with these people. This verse of the Holy Quran warns
Muslims not to trust them, and to absolutely avoid making them their
confidants.
