Quote:

{21:16} And We did not create the heaven and earth and that between them in play.

I suggest,
{21:16} And We did not create the heaven and the earth and what is between them playfully.

Quote:

{21:17} Had We intended to take a diversion, We could have taken it from [what is] with Us -- if [indeed] We were to do so.

I suggest,
{21:17} If We wanted to take a distraction, We would have taken it from Our Own - if We would do [so].

Quote:

{21:18} Rather, We dash the truth upon falsehood, and it destroys it, and thereupon it departs. And for you is destruction from that which you describe.

I suggest,
{21:18} Rather, We hurl the truth against falsehood, it crushes it, and behold, it is withering [away]. And for you is woe because of what you ascribe.
