{14:21} And they will come out [for judgement] before God all together, and the weak will say to those who were arrogant, "Indeed, we were your followers, so can you avail us anything against the punishment of God?" They will say, "If God had guided us, we would have guided you. It is all the same for us whether we show intolerance or are patient: there is for us no place of escape."

I suggest,
{14:21} And they came out [for judgment] before God all together, then the weak said to those who were arrogant, "Verily, we were to you followers, so are you availing us against the torment of God anything?" They said, "If God had guided us, we would have guided you. It is all the same for us whether we panic or endure: there is for us no exit."

Quote:
{14:22} And Satan will say when the matter has been concluded, "Indeed, God had promised you the promise of truth. And I promised you, but I betrayed you. But I had no authority over you except that I invited you, and you responded to me. So do not blame me; but blame yourselves. I cannot be called to your aid, nor can you be called to my aid. Indeed, I deny your association of me [with God] before. Indeed, for the wrongdoers is a painful punishment."

I suggest,
{14:22} And Satan said, as the matter has been concluded, "Indeed, God had promised you the promise of truth. And I promised you, but I betrayed you. But I had no authority over you except that I invited you, and you responded to me. So do not blame me; but blame yourselves. I am not answering your cries, nor are you answering mine. Indeed, I deny your association of me [with God] before. Indeed, for the wrongdoers is a painful torment."
