مِثْلُكَ like you
This noun means 'like, equal of' and carries the attached '-ka' (you, masculine), so it bundles 'like you' into one word and describes the worshipper as comparable to the addressee. The suffix is the post-noun 'you' form, fixing whom the comparison is to. It paints the seer as a peer of the listener.

ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ الثَّالِثَةُ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ فَاعْرِضْ عَنْهُ
Then the third said the same to him, so turn away from him.
مِثْلُ like
A noun meaning 'the like of', heading an 'of' chain with the demonstrative after it: 'the like of that', the same thing. It works as what was said. Arabic builds 'the same as that' by setting this noun directly before 'that'.
