some of the jews pervert words from their meanings saying we have heard and we disobey and hear and be thou not given to hear and observe us twisting with their tongues and traducing religion. if they had said we have heard and obey and hear and regard us it would have been better for them and more upright but god has cursed them for their unbelief so they believe not except a few.
من الذين هادوا يحرفون الكلم عن مواضعه ويقولون سمعنا وعصينا واسمع غير مسمع وراعنا ليا بألسنتهم وطعنا في الدين ولو أنهم قالوا سمعنا وأطعنا واسمع وانظرنا لكان خيرا لهم وأقوم ولكن لعنهم الله بكفرهم فلا يؤمنون إلا قليلا
