highlighted words differ between verses

7:81 · Al-A'raaf · Juz 8

إِنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُونَ ٱلرِّجَالَ شَهْوَةً مِّن دُونِ ٱلنِّسَآءِ ۚ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ مُّسْرِفُونَ

You lust after men instead of women! You are certainly transgressors.”

27:55 · An-Naml · Juz 19

أَئِنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُونَ ٱلرِّجَالَ شَهْوَةً مِّن دُونِ ٱلنِّسَآءِ ۚ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ تَجْهَلُونَ

Do you really lust after men instead of women? In fact, you are ˹only˺ a people acting ignorantly.”

Both describe Lot's people approaching men with desire but 7:81 ends with 'musrifun' (transgressors) while 27:55 ends with 'tajhalun' (acting ignorantly).
