{23:31} Then We produced after them a generation of others.

{23:32} And We sent among them a messenger from themselves, [saying], "Worship God; you have no deity other than Him; then will you not fear Him?"

{23:33} And the eminent among his people who disbelieved and denied the meeting of the Hereafter while We had given them luxury in the worldly life said, "This is not but a man like yourselves. He eats of that from which you eat and drinks of what you drink.

{23:34} And if you should obey a man like yourselves, indeed, you would then be losers.

{23:35} Does he promise you that when you have died and become dust and bones that you will be brought forth [once more]?

{23:36} How far, how far, is that which you are promised.

{23:37} Life is not but our worldly life - we die and live, but we will not be resurrected.

{23:38} He is not but a man who has invented a lie about God, and we will not believe him."

I suggest,

{23:31} Then We initiated after them a generation of others.

{23:32} And We sent among them a messenger from themselves, [saying], "Worship God; you have no deity other than Him; will you not then watch out [for Him]?"

{23:33} And the crowd among his people who disbelieved and denied the meeting of the Hereafter, while We had given them luxury in [this] the nearest life, said, "This is not but a human like yourselves. He eats of from what you eat and drinks from what you drink.

{23:34} And if you should obey a human like yourselves, you would surely then be losers.

{23:35} Does he promise you that when you have died and become dust and bones that you will be brought out [alive from graves]?

{23:36} How far, how far it is to what you are promised.

{23:37} It is but [this] our nearest life - we die and live, but we will not be sent off (resurrected).

{23:38} He is but a man who has invented a lie about God, and we will not believe him."
