أَرْضِ a land

Genitive after 'to', this noun ('land') heads a possessive with the placeholder to come — 'the land OF such-and-such'. So it is both object of 'to' and owner of the next word. It names an unspecified destination.

ولا ترجع إلى أرضك فإنها أرض سوءٍ،

And do not return to your land, for it is a land of evil.

أَرْضِكَ your land

Genitive after 'to', this noun carries attached 'your' — 'your land', his home of sin. The pronoun ties the land to the man addressed. One word holds noun and possessor.

From Righteous Company

ولا ترجع إلى أرضك فإنها أرض سوءٍ،

And do not return to your land, for it is a land of evil.

أَرْضُ a land

This is the predicate of the emphatic clause — 'a land', heading a possessive 'land OF evil'. It is nominative (the particle bends the subject, not the predicate). As construct head it leans on the owner to come.

From Righteous Company

فَإِنَّهَا أَرْضُ سُوْءٍ،

For it is an evil land.

أرضُ land

This noun is what is being said about 'it', its predicate in an 'it is X' statement, so it takes the subject-style (nominative) ending such predicates get. It also heads a possessive pairing with the next word, so it drops its own 'the', borrowing definiteness from the owner that follows.
