Counter-Arguments

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

Annihilation / Destruction

Destruction / Perishing Language

This verse directly uses the phrases "cut off" and "blotted out" in reference to the fate of a posterity and name, which aligns perfectly with the theme's definition of "cut off" and "blot out" as language about the fate of the wicked.
