After several years a copy of the [Al-Muntakhab] translation gives us the full 24:31 rendition:

And say to those of the women who have conformed to Islam to restrain their eyes which includes
a) Obliquity of the eyes,
b) Staring a person up and down
c) Staring a person out of countenance,
d) To guard their sexual morality and to refrain from unlawful sexual congress, sex perversion and sex abuse
e) And to guard the chastity of their speech.
f) Not to display their embellishment — adventitious ornaments and fictitious additions — but not what is naturally exposed — face and hands —, To drape their shoulders and their bosoms separately or with the head-dress.
g) Not to reveal or display their beautification or embellishment except to their husbands, their fathers or fathers-in-law, their sons or step-sons, their brothers, their nephews to their brothers or to their sisters, their women associates, be they friends or reduced to servile state or those on hand or the male servants who are rendered harmless through age or physical defect or the children who are still at the stage of being mindless of sex.
h) Nor should they trample their feet to attract attention to what is hidden of their embellishment.

Allah exhorts you people who have conformed to Islam to keep in awe of Him and to entertain the profound reverence dutiful to Him so that Heaven may prosper you.
