But what good is an utmost wisdom or a wise dispensation providence

﴿حِكۡمَةُۢ بَٰلِغَةٞۖ فَمَا تُغۡنِ ٱلنُّذُرُ ﴾
[القَمَر: 5]

But what good is an utmost wisdom or a wise dispensation providence to people devoid of insight and their hearts' ears are deaf and their minds' eyes are blind

﴿حكمة بالغة فما تغن النذر﴾ [القَمَر: 5]
