An Inevitable Separation
Commentators explain that this verse describes an ultimate and inevitable separation. Just as chaff is separated from wheat, the wicked will not be able to "stand" or be acquitted in God's judgment. This applies both to moments of moral reckoning in this life and, most importantly, to the final judgment where they will have no place in the eternal "congregation of the righteous."
