62:5

مَثَلُ الَّذٖینَ حُمِّلُوا التَّوْرٰیةَ ثُمَّ لَمْ یَحْمِلُوهَا كَمَثَلِ الْحِمَارِ یَحْمِلُ اَسْفَارًاؕ بِئْسَ مَثَلُ الْقَوْمِ الَّذٖینَ كَذَّبُوا بِاٰیَاتِ اللّٰهِؕ وَاللّٰهُ لَا یَهْدِی الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمٖینَ

Mathalu allatheena hummiloo alttawrata thumma lam yahmilooha kamathali alhimari yahmilu asfaran bisa mathalu alqawmi allatheena kaththaboo biayati Allahi waAllahu la yahdee alqawma alththalimeena

Translations

The example of those who were entrusted with the Torah and then did not take it on is like that of a donkey who carries volumes [of books]. Wretched is the example of the people who deny the signs of Allah. And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people

Saheeh International

The likeness of those who are entrusted with the Law of Moses, yet apply it not, is as the likeness of the ass carrying books. Wretched is the likeness of folk who deny the revelations of Allah. And Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk
