Counter-Arguments

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

Annihilation / Destruction

The verse speaks of being "blotted out of the book of the living" and "not written with the righteous," which primarily implies a removal from a record of life or a separation from the righteous, rather than explicitly stating their physical destruction or cessation of existence.

Destruction / Perishing Language

While "blotted out" implies removal, it doesn't explicitly state destruction or perishing in a physical sense, but rather a removal from a record of life.
