Quote:

{4:9} And let those [executors and guardians] fear [injustice] as if they [themselves] had left weak offspring behind and feared for them. So let them fear God and speak words of appropriate justice.

Excellent interjections

However, the verse does not say "as if", it says, "who if". So, I suggest,

{4:9} And let those [executors and guardians] fear [God] - those who if they [themselves] had left weak offspring behind would worry about them. So let them watch out for God and let them say an apt uttering.

Quote:

{4:10} Indeed, those who devour the property of orphans unjustly are only consuming into their bellies fire. And they will be burned in a Blaze.

I suggest,
{4:10} Verily, those who consume the properties of orphans unjustly are only consuming into their bellies fire. And they will soon singe in a Blaze.
