وان منهم لفريقا يلوون السنتهم بالكتاب لتحسبوه من الكتاب وما هو من الكتاب ويقولون هو من عند الله وما هو من عند الله ويقولون على الله الكذب وهم يعلمون

There is among them A section who distort The Book with their tongues (As they read) you would think It is a part of the Book, But it is no part Of the Book; and they say, That is from God," But it is not from God: It is they who tell A lie against God, And (well) they know it!
