Quote:
{70:40} So I swear by the Lord of [all] risings and settings that indeed We are able

I suggest,
{70:40} So I do not [have to] swear by the Lord of risings and settings that verily, We surely are able -

Quote:
{70:41} To replace them with better than them; and We are not to be outdone.

I suggest,
{70:41} To replace [them] with better [people] than they; and We are not, in the slightest, to be outdone.

Quote:
{70:42} So leave them to converse vainly and amuse themselves until they meet their Day which they are promised -

I suggest,
{70:42} So leave them to indulge and play until they meet their Day which they are promised -

Quote:
{70:43} The Day they will emerge from the graves rapidly as if they were, toward an erected idol, hastening.

I suggest,
{70:43} The Day they will emerge from the tombs rapidly as if they are, toward a monument, converging.

Quote:
{70:44} Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. That is the Day which they had been promised.

I suggest,
{70:44} Humbled are their sights, stupefying them is an abasement. That is the Day which they had been promised.
