Quote:
{71:5} He said, "My Lord, indeed I invited my people [to truth] night and day.

I suggest,
{71:5} He said, "[My] Lord, verily, I invited my people night and day."

Quote:
{71:6} But my invitation increased them not except in flight.

I suggest,
{71:6} "But my inviting did not add to them but fleeing!"

Quote:
{71:7} And indeed, every time I invited them that You may forgive them, they put their fingers in their ears, covered themselves with their garments, persisted, and were arrogant with [great] arrogance.

I suggest,
{71:7} "And verily, whenever I invited them that You may forgive them, they set their fingers in their ears, used for cover [over their heads] their clothes, insisted, and deemed themselves big with such arrogance."
