How do we reconcile the statement of the polytheists in the verse “And Allah is our Lord; we were never associating partners with Him” with His saying “So they admitted their sin”?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I am confused about how to reconcile the statement of the Exalted and Majestic regarding the polytheists on the Day of Resurrection, that they say
"By Allah, our Lord, we were not those who associated."وَاللَّهِ رَبِّنَا مَا كُنَّا مُشْرِكِينَ
[Al-An'am 6:23]
, with another verse that says “So they admitted their sin.”

Answer:
This is the same verse. This is
"By Allah, our Lord, we were not those who associated."وَاللَّهِ رَبِّنَا مَا كُنَّا مُشْرِكِينَ
[Al-An'am 6:23]
See how they will lie about themselves.انظُرْ كَيْفَ كَذَبُوا عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِهِمْ
[Al-An'am 6:24]
Read the verse that follows it. They lied in their oath; they lied in their swearing.
