Quote:
{39:9} Is one who is devoutly obedient during periods of the night, prostrating and standing [in prayer], fearing the Hereafter and hoping for the mercy of his Lord, [like one who does not]? Say, "Are those who know equal to those who do not know?" Only they will remember [who are] people of understanding.

I suggest,
{39:9} Now, is one who is devoutly obedient during periods of the night, prostrating and standing (in prayer), being cautious of the Hereafter and hopes for the mercy of his Lord, [like one who is not]? Say, "Do those who know equal those who do not know?" Verily, the only [ones who] remember are those with intellects.

Quote:
{39:10} Say, "O My servants who have believed, fear your Lord. For those who do good in this world is good, and the earth of God is spacious. Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account."

I suggest,
{39:10} Say, "O My worshipers who have believed, watch out for your Lord. For those who do good in this the nearest [life] is good, and God's earth is spacious. Verily, the patient will be paid their reward without account."
