{59:11} Have you not considered those who practice hypocrisy, saying to their brothers who have disbelieved among the People of the Scripture, "If you are expelled, we will surely leave with you, and we will not obey, in regard to you, anyone - ever; and if you are fought, we will surely aid you." But God testifies that they are liars.

I suggest,
{59:11} Did you not see through those who practiced hypocrisy, saying to their brethren who have disbelieved among the People of the Book, "If you are expelled, we will surely leave with you, and we will not obey, in regard to you, anyone - ever; and if you are fought, we will surely succor you." But God testifies that they are liars.

Quote:
{59:12} If they are expelled, they will not leave with them, and if they are fought, they will not aid them. And [even] if they should aid them, they will surely turn their backs; then [thereafter] they will not be aided.

I suggest,
{59:12} Surely if they are expelled, they will not leave with them, and if they are fought, they will not succor them. And [even] if they should succor them, they will surely turn the rears (flee); then they will not be helped.

Quote:
{59:13} You [believers] are more fearful within their breasts than God. That is because they are a people who do not understand.

I suggest,
{59:13} Surely you (believers) are more of a fright in their bosoms than God. That is because they are a folk who do not comprehend.

Quote:
{59:14} They will not fight you all except within fortified cities or from behind walls. Their violence among themselves is severe. You think they are together, but their hearts are diverse. That is because they are a people who do not reason.

I suggest,
{59:14} They will not fight you together except within fortified towns or from behind walls. Their violence among themselves is fierce. You think they are together, but their hearts are diverse. That is because they are a folk who do not reason.
