مِنَ الَّذِیۡنَ ہَادُوۡا یُحَرِّفُوۡنَ الۡکَلِمَ عَنۡ مَّوَاضِعِہٖ وَ یَقُوۡلُوۡنَ سَمِعۡنَا وَ عَصَیۡنَا وَ اسۡمَعۡ غَیۡرَ مُسۡمَعٍ وَّ رَاعِنَا لَـیًّۢا بِاَلۡسِنَتِہِمۡ وَ طَعۡنًا فِی الدِّیۡنِ ؕ وَ لَوۡ اَنَّہُمۡ قَالُوۡا سَمِعۡنَا وَ اَطَعۡنَا وَ اسۡمَعۡ وَ انۡظُرۡنَا لَکَانَ خَیۡرًا لَّہُمۡ وَ اَقۡوَمَ ۙ وَ لٰکِنۡ لَّعَنَہُمُ اللّٰہُ بِکُفۡرِہِمۡ فَلَا یُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ اِلَّا قَلِیۡلًا ﴿۴۶﴾

46. There are some Jews who pervert words (of the Torah) from their meanings (or from their original places) and say: ‘We hear and disobey,’ and ‘Hear, as one who hears not!’ and (they further say:) ‘Ra‘ina’ (Observe us), twisting their tongues (to distort the phrase) and slandering the faith. If only they had said (courteously): ‘We hear and obey,’ and ‘Listen to us’ and ‘Unzurna’ (look upon us), it would have been far better for them and more upright. But Allah has cursed them for their disbelief. So they will not believe except a few.
