And some among the Jews pervert the words (of the Torah) from their (root) places and say: ‘We have heard but we disobey,’ and (also say): ‘Listen! (God forbid!) May you not be listened to,’ and twisting their tongues, scoffing at Din (Religion) they say: ‘Ra‘ina.’ And, (instead,) if they had said: ‘We have heard and obeyed,’ and ‘(Your Eminence! Please) give audience (to our request) and bless us with a (benevolent and kind) look,’ that would have been better for them and (this utterance) would have been right and appropriate (too) but Allah has cursed them owing to their disbelief. So they do not believe except a few.
