Quote:
{39:25} Those before them denied, and punishment came upon them from where they did not perceive.

I suggest,
{39:25} Those before them belied, and torment came upon them from where they did not perceive.

Quote:
{39:26} So God made them taste disgrace in worldly life. But the punishment of the Hereafter is greater, if they only knew.

I suggest,
{39:26} So God made them taste disgrace in [this] the nearest life. But the torment of the Hereafter surely is greater, if they only knew.

Quote:
{39:28} [It is] an Arabic Quran, without any deviance that they might become righteous.

I suggest,
{39:28} [It is] an Arabic Quran, not having crookedness, that they may watch out [for God].

Quote:
{39:29} God presents an example: a slave owned by quarreling partners and another belonging exclusively to one man - are they equal in comparison? Praise be to God! But most of them do not know.

I suggest,
{39:29} God strikes a parable: a man (servant) claimed by quarreling partners and [another] man (servant) exclusive to one man - are they equal for example? Praise is to God! But most of them do not know.
