{34:43} And when our verses are recited to them as clear evidences, they say, "This is not but a man who wishes to avert you from that which your fathers were worshipping." And they say, "This is not except a lie invented." And those who disbelieve say of the truth when it has come to them, "This is not but obvious magic."

I suggest,
{34:43} And when Our verses are recited to them as clear evidences, they say, "This is not but a man who wants to block you from what your fathers have been worshiping." And they say, "This is not but a lie conjured." And those who disbelieve say of the truth when it has come to them, "This is not but obvious magic."

Quote:
{34:44} And We had not given them any scriptures which they could study, and We had not sent to them before you, [O Muhammad], any warner.

I suggest,
{34:44} And We had not given them any books that they may study them, and We had not sent to them before you, [O Muhammad], any warner.

Quote:
{34:45} And those before them denied, and the people of Makkah have not attained a tenth of what We had given them. But the former peoples denied My messengers, so how [terrible] was My reproach.

I suggest,
{34:45} And those before them belied, and [the polytheists of Mecca] have not reached a tenth of what We had given them - They belied My messengers, so how [terrible] was [My] reproach?
