{46:10} Say, "Have you considered: if the Quran was from God, and you disbelieved in it while a witness from the Children of Israel has testified to something similar and believed while you were arrogant...?" Indeed, God does not guide the wrongdoing people.

I suggest,
{46:10} Say, "Have you considered: if it (the Quran) is from God, and you disbelieved in it while a witness from the Children of Israel has testified to same and believed while you flouted?" Verily, God does not guide the wrongdoing folk.

Quote:
{46:11} And those who disbelieve say of those who believe, "If it had [truly] been good, they would not have preceded us to it." And when they are not guided by it, they will say, "This is an ancient falsehood."

I suggest,
{46:11} And those who have disbelieved have said of those who have believed, "If it had been good, they would not have preceded us to it." And whence they have not been guided by it, they will say, "This is an old fable."

Quote:
{46:12} And before it was the scripture of Moses to lead and as a mercy. And this is a confirming Book in an Arabic tongue to warn those who have wronged and as good tidings to the doers of good.

I suggest,
{46:12} And before it was the Book of Moses, vanguard and mercy. And this is a confirming Book, in an Arabic tongue, to warn those who have wronged and to be glad tidings to the benevolent.
