Grammar Rules

Conjunction وَ (and)
وَلَقَدِ (And verily) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".
We add "and" to connect this to what came before.
Emphatic لَ (indeed)
وَلَقَدِ (And verily) starts with لَ for emphasis — it's like saying "indeed!" or "certainly!".
We add "indeed" or "certainly" to show the emphasis.

Sahih International

And already were messengers ridiculed before you, but those who mocked them were enveloped by what they used to ridicule.
