Counter-Arguments

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

Destruction / Perishing Language

The verse explicitly states that the people will *not* be preyed upon or devoured, which is the opposite of destruction or perishing. It describes a future of safety and security, not the fate of the wicked.
