Grammar Rules

Emphatic لَ (indeed)
وَلَئِنْ (And even if) starts with لَ for emphasis — it's like saying "indeed!" or "certainly!".
We add "indeed" or "certainly" to show the emphasis.
Conditional (if/when)
وَلَئِنْ (And even if) introduces a condition — "if this happens, then that happens".
We translate it as "if" or "when".

Sahih International

And if you brought to those who were given the Scripture every sign, they would not follow your qiblah. Nor will you be a follower of their qiblah. Nor would they be followers of one another's qiblah. So if you were to follow their desires after what has come to you of knowledge, indeed, you would then be among the wrongdoers.
