He further informed them of their humiliation, then he indicated the correctness of that with logical evidence for those who understand it.

He confirmed their denial: ﴿Indeed, the former ones﴾, those whom you made the exclusion in regard to them primary. He specified the inclusion with his saying: ﴿and the latter ones﴾, and indicated the ease of their resurrection and that it is in the utmost certainty, alerting them that their transfer by death and decay is an acquisition, not a loss.
