وَمَثَلُ كَلِمَةٍ خَبِيثَةٍ كَشَجَرَةٍ خَبِيثَةٍ ٱجْتُثَّتْ مِن فَوْقِ ٱلْأَرْضِ مَا لَهَا مِن قَرَارٍ
Wamathalu kalimatin khabeethatin kashajaratin khabeethatin ijtuththat min fawqi alar d i m a lah a min qar a r in
And the parable of a corrupt word is that of a corrupt tree, torn up [from its roots] onto the face of the earth, wholly unable to endure.38
  - Mohammad Asad

Lit., "having no permanence (qarar) whatever": i.e., the "corrupt word" (see note [36] above) is ephemeral in its effect, however strong its original impact on the minds of people who fall prey to it.

But the example of an evil word is that of an evil tree, which is torn out from the earth and has no stability.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
And the parable of an evil word is that of an evil tree, uprooted from the earth, having no stability.
  - Mustafa Khattab
And the similitude of a bad saying is as a bad tree, uprooted from upon the earth, possessing no stability.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
And the parable of an evil Word is that of an evil tree. It is torn up by the root from the surface of the earth: it has no stability. 1902
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

The evil tree is the opposite of the goodly tree. The parallelism of contrast can be followed out in all the details of the last note.
