The second interpretation:

3792 - Abu Zur'ah narrated to us, 'Amr b. Hammad narrated to us, Asbat narrated to us, from al-Suddi regarding: "the curse of Allah and the angels and the people, all together." He said: If two believers or two disbelievers were to curse each other, and one of them said, "May Allah curse the wrongdoer," that curse would become incumbent upon the disbeliever because he is a wrongdoer, so everyone from among the creation curses him.

His saying, the Exalted: "Abiding eternally therein"

3793 - 'Isam b. Rawwad narrated to us, Adam narrated to us, Abu Ja'far narrated to us, from al-Rabi', from Abu al-'Aliyah regarding: "Abiding eternally therein," meaning in the Fire, in the curse.
