Sahih International:

Do you order righteousness of the people and forget yourselves while you recite the Scripture? Then will you not reason? (Al-Baqarah [2] : 44)

Do you enjoin righteousness upon others while you ignore your own selves, although you keep reciting the Book? Have you then no sense?
