And so We propound these parables unto man: but none can grasp their innermost meaning save those who [of Us] are aware

And such are the Parables We set forth for mankind, but only those understand them who have knowledge.

As for these similitudes, We coin them for mankind, but none will grasp their meaning save the wise.

And these parables, We set them forth for men, and none understand them but the learned.

And these examples We present to the people, but none will understand them except those of knowledge.
