quran:40:60 –

And your Lord says, "Call upon Me; I will respond to you." Indeed, those who disdain My worship will enter Hell ˹rendered˺ contemptible.  

And your Lord has said, ‘Call on Me and I will respond to you, in other words, worship Me and I will reward you — judging ˹this to be the meaning˺ by what follows. Surely those who disdain to worship Me shall enter (sa-yadkhulūna, or ˹passive˺ sa-yudkhalūna, ‘they shall be admitted into’) Hell ˹utterly˺ humiliated’, abased.
القرآن:٤٠:٦٠ –

وَقَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِي سَيَدْخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِينَ  

{وقال ربكم ادعوني أستجب لكم} أي اعبدوني أثبكم بقرينة ما بعده {إن الذين يستكبرون عن عبادتي سيدخلون} بفتح الياء وضم الخاء وبالعكس {جهنم داخرين} صاغرين.
