Commentary

And when the decree was: So if you follow him, indeed you are surely misguided, he added to it: "And if you obey a human like yourselves" in all that you see, "then you are surely losers," meaning you are at a loss for having preferred someone like yourselves over what he claims, of which we are in denial.
