Verse 7of 11
وَلَا يَتَمَنَّوْنَهُۥٓ أَبَدًۢا بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌۢ بِٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ﴿٧﴾
Translation (Sahih International)
But they will not wish for it, ever, because of what their hands have put forth. And Allah is Knowing of the wrongdoers.

Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
Admonishing the Jews and challenging Them to wish for DeathAllah the Exalted admonishes the Jews who were entrusted with the Tawrah and were ordered to abide by it. However, they did not abide by it, and this is why Allah resembled them to the donkey that carries volumes of books. Surely, when the donkey carries books, it will not understand what these books contain because it is only carrying these books using its strength.
