Quote:
{34:34} And We did not send into a city any warner except that its affluent said, "Indeed we, in that with which you were sent, are disbelievers."

I suggest,
{34:34} And We never sent in a town a warner but that its affluent said, "Verily, we, in what you were sent with, are disbelievers."

Quote:
{34:35} And they said, "We are more [than the believers] in wealth and children, and we are not to be punished."

I suggest,
{34:35} And they said, "We are more in wealth and children, and we are not to be the least tormented."

Quote:
{34:36} Say, "Indeed, my Lord extends provision for whom He wills and restricts [it], but most of the people do not know."

I suggest,
{34:36} Say, "Verily, my Lord extends provision for whom He wills and restricts [it to others], but most of the people do not know."

Quote:
{34:37} And it is not your wealth or your children that bring you nearer to Us in position, but it is [by being] one who has believed and done righteousness. For them there will be the double reward for what they did, and they will be in the upper chambers [of Paradise], safe [and secure].

I suggest,
{34:37} And it is not your wealth or your children that would bring you near to Us in status, but [by being] one who has believed and done a righteous [deed]. For them is a reward of double for what they did, and they will be in the chambers (of Paradise), secure.
