Counter-Arguments

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

Annihilation / Destruction

While "perish" can imply destruction, the phrase "perish from the way" in this context is ambiguous and could refer to a loss of divine favor or removal from a righteous path rather than complete cessation of existence.

Destruction / Perishing Language

While the verse mentions perishing, it does so as a consequence to be avoided, not as a direct statement of destruction already occurring or being commanded.
