Commentary
Uff is a sound that when uttered, it is known that its owner is annoyed. He is annoyed by what he sees of their steadfastness in worship after their excuse has ended and after the truth has become clear and falsehood has perished. So he expresses his annoyance with them. The 'lam' is for indicating what he is annoyed about.
That is: this annoyance is for you and your idols.
