Destruction / Perishing Language

The verse explicitly states that a "false witness shall perish," directly using the word "perish" to describe the fate of the wicked.

Annihilation / Destruction

The verse does not explicitly state that the false witness ceases to exist, only that they "perish," which could refer to a loss of status, reputation, or well-being rather than complete annihilation.
