Quote:
{15:19} And the earth - We have spread it and cast therein firmly set mountains and caused to grow therein [something] of every well-balanced thing.

I suggest,
{15:19} And the earth - We have spread it out and cast therein anchors and caused to grow therein [something] of every well-balanced thing.

Quote:
{15:20} And We have made for you therein means of living and [for] those for whom you are not providers.

I suggest,
{15:20} And We have made for you therein means of living and [for] that for which you can never be providers.

Quote:
{15:21} And there is not a thing but that with Us are its depositories, and We do not send it down except according to a known measure.

Excellent translation.
