Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Annihilation / Destruction

The verse describes the remnant being "delivered into the hand of their enemies" and becoming "a prey and a spoil," which implies subjugation and suffering, but not necessarily their complete cessation of existence or annihilation.

Literal Fulfillment

While the verse speaks of future events, the language "forsake," "deliver," "prey," and "spoil" could be interpreted metaphorically to describe a state of spiritual or political decline rather than a strictly physical and historical conquest.

Destruction / Perishing Language

The verse describes the people being "delivered into the hand of their enemies" and becoming "a prey and a spoil," which indicates subjugation and loss of property rather than explicit destruction or perishing of life.
