Commentary
So it sits from their saying, 'Sharpening the blade until it sat,' as if it is a spear, meaning it becomes. It means: So you become one who gathers upon yourself the blame and what follows it of destruction from your god, and the abandonment and inability to aid from whom you have made a partner to Him.
