Explanatory Note

We are then made to listen to them as they speak in hell, saying to the false deities and the idols they worshipped: “By God, we were obviously in error, when we deemed you equal to the Lord of all the worlds," worshipping you, alongside or instead of God, as if you were equal to Him. They say it now when it is too late.
