An-Nisa 46

مِنَ الَّذ۪ينَ هَادُوا يُحَرِّفُونَ الْكَلِمَ عَنْ مَوَاضِعِه۪ وَيَقُولُونَ سَمِعْنَا وَعَصَيْنَا وَاسْمَعْ غَيْرَ مُسْمَعٍ وَرَاعِنَا لَيًّا بِاَلْسِنَتِهِمْ وَطَعْنًا فِي الدّ۪ينِۜ وَلَوْ اَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا سَمِعْنَا وَاَطَعْنَا وَاسْمَعْ وَانْظُرْنَا لَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَهُمْ وَاَقْوَمَۙ وَلٰكِنْ لَعَنَهُمُ اللّٰهُ بِكُفْرِهِمْ فَلَا يُؤْمِنُونَ اِلَّا قَل۪يلًا ۝٤٦

46Some of those who became Jews, distorting words from their original meanings and twisting their tongues with the intent of insulting the religion, say, "We heard and held on/we disobeyed," "Listen—may you not hear," and "Ra'ina" (herd us). If they had said, "We heard and we obeyed; listen to us and attend to us," it would surely have been better and more honest for them. But Allah has cursed them because of this disbelief of theirs. So, except for very few of them, they do not become believers.
