And the example of an evil ideology is that of a bad tree that gets easily uprooted from the surface of the earth, and it has no stability. (It is neither firmly rooted, nor reaches any heights)
And the parable of an evil word is like that of an evil tree: It is pulled up by the root (see 15.34) from the surface of the earth; It cannot be stable (alive)
But the example of an evil word is that of an evil tree which is torn out from the earth and has no stability
Dr. Munir Munshey
And the parable of the evil words is like a repulsive diseased tree. It is uprooted from the land and has no stability
Dr. Kamal Omar
And the example of Kalimatin Khabisatin (undesirable committal): like an evil and undesirable tree; it got uprooted from (its loose grip) on the surface of the earth. There is not for it any stability
And the parable of an evil word is as an evil tree pulled up from the earth’s surface; it has no stability
Muhammad Ahmed - Samira
And (the) example/proverb (of) a bad/spoiled word/expression (is) as a bad/spoiled tree, (it) was uprooted/cut down from above the ground , no bottom (root is) for it
And the example of an evil word is like that of an evil tree, which is uprooted from the surface of the earth (and) which has no chance to get firm (in the soil and survive)
And the example of a filthy word (a baseless idea) is like a filthy tree (fruitless/futile), devoid of a root, superficial and without a basis.
Sayyed Abbas Sadr-Ameli
And the parable of an evil word is like an evil tree rooted upon the surface of the earth; it has naught of stability.
Al-muntakhab fi tafsir al-Qur'an al-Karim
Whereas an evil word stands similitude exact of an evil tree; it may flourish to begin with but soon enough it is uprooted from the soil and the surface of the earth. Its roots being loosely implanted, it does not have the strength to grow erect nor does it eventually grow at all
