When one swears by Allah, it is an utmost oath; however, they were mocking!
Their false sarcastic oath actually need repent because they were not faithful; otherwise it is an unjustifiable sin that deserve severe punishment in the Afterlife.

The Prophet Muhammad informed the disbelievers of Mecca about the signs and the miracles which Allah has given the prophets before him but they did not believe therein.
He told them about the flood of Noah but they did not believe
He told them about the she-camel of Saleh which emerged from a huge rock but they did not believe
He told them about the great fire that Abraham was thrown into it but they did not believe
He told them about the splitting of the red sea by Moses but they did not believe
He told them about the miracles of Solomen but they did not believe
He told them about the swallowing of Jonah by the whale but they did not believe
He told them about the miracles of Jesus but they did not believe
Mockingly, the disbelievers of Mecca said to the Prophet Muhammad:
‘You told us that Moses had a staff with which he struck a stone and twelve springs gushed forth, and that Jesus revived the dead, and that Thamud had a camel emerged from a rock; why do you not bring us some of those signs so that we believe in you?’
Sarcastically, they swear a solemn oath by Allah, if there come unto them a sign as they have asked they will believe in that sign and they will believe Muhammad and the Quran.
When one swears by Allah, it is an utmost oath; however, they were mocking!
Their false sarcastic oath actually need repent because they were not faithful; otherwise it is an unjustifiable sin that deserve severe punishment in the Afterlife.
Ayah 6:110 says:
Because Allah knows what is inside their heart of supremacy and arrogance and because they the truth, Allah shall confound their hearts.
Allah shall turn their hearts away from the truth because they the truth, so that they would not understand it,
And Allah shall turn their eyes, away from the truth, so that they do not see it and thus do not believe.
This is just as they did not believe in it, that is, in the verses that have been revealed generally and especially those of the signs of the Prophets before you O Muhammad., the first time; and Allah shall leave them in their insolence, in their misguidance, wandering blindly, hesitating, perplexed.
Allah shall leave them in their disbelief and error.
