Salaam all,

This is 7:86

Wala taqAAudoo bikulli siratin tooAAidoona watasuddoona AAan sabeeli Allahi man amana bihi watabghoonaha AAiwajan waothkuroo ith kuntum qaleelan fakaththarakum waonthuroo kayfa kana AAaqibatu almufsideena

The aya says:
And do not sit by every path you threaten and block away from Allah’s path whoever made himself in Him and you desire it crooked. And remember as you were few so He made you many and look how was the consequence of the ones who do damage.

My personal note:
In this passage it continues the nature of the sin of his people in addition to cheating in the trade, they also threatened whoever was on the path. In here the path can take two meanings that are not mutually exclusive:

1- Someone passing through their territory and they threaten him or her and may be steal their belongings or force them to pay huge ransoms taxes and so on.
2- Threatening those who head towards Shuaib and the people who made themselves safe and trusting in Allah.
