Will the people who are not the actual wrongdoers but adopt a passive attitude towards the widespread evils be affected by the punishment from God?

Verse 25 of Chapter 8:

And guard against that mischief which will not bring punishment in particular to the mischief-makers alone from among you, and know that Allah is severe in inflicting punishment.

However, if there exist (some) good people asking His forgiveness, God would not send down a torment on that habitation:

Verse 33 of Chapter 8:

At that time Allah would not send down any torment on them for you (prophet) dwelt in their midst: nor does Allah chastise people while they are asking His forgiveness.
