Quote:
{28:80} But those who had been given knowledge said, "Woe to you! The reward of God is better for he who believes and does righteousness. And none are granted it except the patient."

I suggest,
{28:80} But those who had been given knowledge said, "Woe to you! The reward of God is better for he who believes and does right. And none are granted it but the patient."

Quote:
{28:81} And We caused the earth to swallow him and his home. And there was for him no company to aid him other than God, nor was he of those who [could] defend themselves.

I suggest,
{28:81} Then We caused to sink down with him and his home the earth. And there was not for him a company to help him beside God, nor was he of the triumphant.

Quote:
{28:82} And those who had wished for his position the previous day began to say, "Oh, how God extends provision to whom He wills of His servants and restricts it! If not that God had conferred favor on us, He would have caused it to swallow us. Oh, how the disbelievers do not succeed!"

I suggest,
{28:82} And those who had wished for his position the day before met the morning saying, "Woe! So then God extends provision to whom He wills of His worshipers and restricts it. Had not God bestowed favor on us, He would have sunk us down. Woe! So then the disbelievers do not prosper."

Quote:
{28:83} That home of the Hereafter We assign to those who do not desire exaltedness upon the earth or corruption. And the [best] outcome is for the righteous.

I suggest,
{28:83} That lasting Home - We assign it to those who do not want highness in the land nor corruption. And the [best] outcome is for the watchful [of God].

Quote:
{28:84} Whoever comes [on the Day of Judgement] with a good deed will have better than it; and whoever comes with an evil deed - then those who did evil deeds will not be recompensed except [as much as] what they used to do.

I suggest,
{28:84} Whoever comes with the good deed, for him is better than it; and whoever comes with the bad deed - then those who did bad deeds are not recompensed except as they were doing.
