{83:15} No! Indeed, from their Lord, that Day, they will be partitioned.

I suggest,
{83:15} No! Verily, they, from their Lord that Day, surely are debarred.

{83:16} Then indeed, they will [enter and] burn in Hellfire.

{83:17} Then it will be said [to them], "This is what you used to deny."

I suggest,
