{7:52} And We had certainly brought them a Book which We detailed by knowledge - as guidance and mercy to a people who believe.

I suggest,
{7:52} And We had certainly brought them a Book which We knowingly detailed, a guidance and mercy to a folk who believe.

Quote:
{7:53} Do they await except its result? The Day its result comes those who had ignored it before will say, "The messengers of our Lord had come with the truth, so are there [now] any intercessors to intercede for us or could we be sent back to do other than we used to do?" They will have lost themselves, and lost from them is what they used to invent.

I suggest,
{7:53} Do they look [for aught] but its ultimate interpretation? The Day [when] comes its ultimate interpretation would say those who had forgotten it before (neglected it), "Certainly have come the envoys of our Lord with the truth, so are there [now] for us any mediators to mediate for us or [can] we be turned back to do other than we have been doing?" They certainly lost themselves, and has strayed away from them what they have been inventing.

Totally agree.
