5:63
لَوْلَا
يَنْهَاهُمُ
الرَّبَّانِيُّونَ
وَالْأَحْبَارُ
عَن
قَوْلِهِمُ
الْإِثْمَ
وَأَكْلِهِمُ
السُّحْتَ
لَبِئْسَ
مَا
كَانُوا
يَصْنَعُونَ
law-lā yanhāhumu r-rabbāniyyūna wa-l-ʾaḥbāru ʿan qawlihimu l-ʾithma wa-ʾaklihimu s-suḥta la-biʾsa mā kānū yaṣnaʿūna
Why did the men of God and rabbis not forbid them from following their sinful words and their consuming of unlawful gains. Evil was their (rabbis and priests) profession!
