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 .
