quran:4:42 –

That Day, those who disbelieved and disobeyed the Messenger will wish they could be covered by the earth. And they will not conceal from Allah a ˹single˺ statement.  

Upon that day, the day of bringing forward; the disbelievers, those who have disobeyed the Messenger, will wish that (law, ‘if’, means an, ‘that’) the earth might be levelled with them (read passive tusawwā, or active tasawwā, or tassawwā), so that like it they might also become dust, ˹and this is˺ because of the terror of that day, as is stated in another verse: The disbeliever shall say, ‘O would that I were dust!’ ˹Q. 78:40˺. And they will not hide from God any talk, of what they did, although at another stage they do actually hide it and say, ‘By God, our Lord, we never associated anything with You’ ˹Q. 6:23˺.
القرآن:٤:٤٢ –

يَوْمَئِذٍ يَوَدُّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَعَصَوُا الرَّسُولَ لَوْ تُسَوَّىٰ بِهِمُ الْأَرْضُ وَلَا يَكْتُمُونَ اللَّهَ حَدِيثًا  

{يومئذ} يوم المجيء {يود الذين كفروا وعصوا الرَّسول لو} أي أن {تُسَوَّى} بالبناء للمفعول والفاعل مع حذف إحدى التاءين في الأصل ومع إدغامها في السين أي تتسوى {بهم الأرض} بأن يكونوا ترابا مثلها لعظم هوله كما في آية أخرى (ويقول الكافر يا ليتنى كنت ترابا) {ولا يكتمون الله حديثا} عما عملوه وفي وقت آخر يكتمونه ويقولون (والله ربِّنا ما كنا مشركين).
