Oblivion » The wicked doomed to
So then, I have seen the wicked buried, those who used to go in and out of the holy place [but did not thereby escape their doom], and they are [praised in spite of their evil and] soon forgotten in the city where they did such things. This too is futility (vanity, emptiness).
The face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
To cut off the memory of them from the earth.
‘I would have said, “I will cut them to pieces [scattering them far away],
I will remove the memory of them from men,”
Let them be before the Lord continually,
That He may cut off their memory from the earth;
for the miscarriage comes in futility (in vain) and passes into obscurity; and its name is covered in obscurity.
