{31:16} [And Luqman said], "O my son, indeed if wrong should be the weight of a mustard seed and should be within a rock or [anywhere] in the heavens or in the earth, God will bring it forth. Indeed, God is Subtle and Acquainted.

I suggest,
{31:16} [And Luqman said], "O my little son, verily if [anything] should be the weight of a seed of mustard and should be within a rock or [anywhere] in the heavens or in the earth, God brings it forth. Verily, God is Subtle, Dexterous."

Quote:
{31:17} O my son, establish prayer, enjoin what is right, forbid what is wrong, and be patient over what befalls you. Indeed, [all] that is of the matters [requiring] determination.

I suggest,
{31:17} [Luqman continued,] "O my little son, establish prayer, command the recognized [as right], forbid the objectionable, and endure what hit you. Indeed, that is of the resolute matters."

Quote:
{31:18} And do not turn your cheek [in contempt] toward people and do not walk through the earth exultantly. Indeed, God does not like everyone self-deluded and boastful.

I suggest,
{31:18} "And do not swell your cheek [in conceit] toward people and do not walk through the earth exultantly. Indeed, God does not like every boastful swagger."
