Quote:
{2:267} O you who have believed, spend from the good things which you have earned and from that which We have produced for you from the earth. And do not aim toward the defective therefrom, spending [from that] while you would not take it [yourself] except with closed eyes. And know that God is Free of need and Praiseworthy.

I suggest,
{2:267} O you who have believed, spend from the good things which you have earned and from what We have produced for you from the earth. And do not aim toward the defective therefrom, spending [from that] while you would not take it [yourselves] except as you close your eyes to it. And know that God is Need-Free and Praiseworthy.

Quote:
{2:268} Satan threatens you with poverty and orders you to immorality, while God promises you forgiveness from Him and bounty. And God is all-Encompassing and Knowing.

I suggest,
{2:268} Satan promises you poverty and orders you to debauchery, while God promises you forgiveness from Him and bounty. And God is Capacious and All-Knowing.

Quote:
{2:269} He gives wisdom to whom He wills, and whoever has been given wisdom has certainly been given much good. And none will remember except those of understanding.

I suggest,
{2:269} He gives wisdom to whom He wills, and whoever is given wisdom has certainly been given much good. And none remember but those with intellects.
