وَٱلْبَلَدُ ٱلطَّيِّبُ يَخْرُجُ نَبَاتُهُۥ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِۦ وَٱلَّذِى خَبُثَ لَا يَخْرُجُ إِلَّا نَكِدًا كَذَٰلِكَ نُصَرِّفُ ٱلْـَٔايَٰتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَشْكُرُونَ
Alternative: from bad land no growth emerges
Research rendering: from bad land growth emerges only meagerly
The Arabic clause retains يَخْرُجُ and restricts its manner with إِلَّا نَكِدًا; it asserts a deficient yield, not zero emergence.
