The example of those who were entrusted with ˹observing˺ the Torah but failed to do so, is that of a donkey carrying books.¹ How evil is the example of those who reject Allah’s signs! For Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.

The likeness of those who were entrusted with the (obligation of the) Taurât (Torah) (i.e. to obey its commandments and to practise its laws), but who subsequently failed in those (obligations), is as the likeness of a donkey which carries huge burdens of books (but understands nothing from them). How bad is the example of people who deny the Ayât (proofs, evidence, verses, signs, revelations) of Allâh. And Allâh guides not the people who are Zâlimûn(polytheists, wrong-doers, disbelievers).
