It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
14

Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;

15

And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.

16

It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.

Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.

So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.

Counter-Arguments

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

Annihilation / Destruction

The verse describes a state of being "burned with fire" and "cut down," which could be interpreted as a severe punishment or transformation rather than complete cessation of existence, especially since "perish at the rebuke of thy countenance" might imply a continued, albeit undesirable, state of being in the presence of divine judgment.

Destruction / Perishing Language

There is no counter-argument as the verse explicitly uses "burned with fire," "cut down," and "perish," which directly align with the theme's defined language for destruction and perishing.
