Midrash sobre Oséias 4:1
שִׁמְע֥וּ דְבַר־יְהוָ֖ה בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל כִּ֣י רִ֤יב לַֽיהוָה֙ עִם־יוֹשְׁבֵ֣י הָאָ֔רֶץ כִּ֠י אֵין־אֱמֶ֧ת וְֽאֵין־חֶ֛סֶד וְאֵֽין־דַּ֥עַת אֱלֹהִ֖ים בָּאָֽרֶץ׃
Ouvi a palavra do SENHOR, vós, filhos de Israel; pois o SENHOR tem uma contenda com os habitantes da terra; porque na terra não há verdade, nem benignidade, nem conhecimento de Deus.
Sifrei Devarim
If so, what is the intent of "And you shall learn them and you shall heed them to do them"? Scripture hereby apprises us that doing (the mitzvah) is contingent upon learning, and not, learning up doing. And thus do we find that the punishment for (not) learning is greater than that of (not) doing, viz.: (Hoshea 4:1) "Hear the word of the L-rd, O children of Israel. For the L-rd has a quarrel with the dwellers of the land. For there is no truth, and there is no lovingkindness, and there is no knowledge of the L-rd in the land."
