{33:72} Indeed, we offered the Trust to the heavens and the earth and the mountains, and they declined to bear it and feared it; but man [undertook to] bear it. Indeed, he was unjust and ignorant.

I suggest,
{33:72} Verily, We offered the Trust to the heavens, the earth and the mountains, and they abnegated to bear it and were apprehensive of it; but man bore it. Indeed, he was very unjust, very ignorant.

Quote:
{33:73} [It was] so that God may punish the hypocrite men and hypocrite women and the men and women who associate others with Him and that God may accept repentance from the believing men and believing women. And ever is God Forgiving and Merciful.

I suggest,
{33:73} [It was] so that God may torment the hypocrite men and the hypocrite women and the polytheist men and the polytheist women and that God may accept repentance from the believing men and the believing women. And ever is God Oft-Forgiving and Merciful.
