Quote:
{27:54} And [mention] Lot, when he said to his people, "Do you commit immorality while you are seeing?

I suggest,
{27:54} And Lot, when he said to his people, "Do you commit debauchery while you [can] see [its abomination]?"

Quote:
{27:55} Do you indeed approach men with desire instead of women? Rather, you are a people behaving ignorantly."

I suggest,
{27:55} "Do you actually approach men in lust instead of women? Nay, you are a folk acting ignorantly."

Quote:
{27:57} So We saved him and his family, except for his wife; We destined her to be of those who remained behind.

I suggest,
{27:57} So, We rescued him and his family, except his wife; We determined her to be among the desolate.

Quote:
{27:58} And We rained upon them a rain [of stones], and evil was the rain of those who were warned.

I suggest,
{27:58} And We rained upon them a rain [of stones]. How wretched a rain of the warned!
