The Vanishing Act of the Wicked

Commentators clarify that the wicked 'shall not be' does not mean they cease to exist entirely. Rather, their presence, power, and prosperity on earth will be suddenly removed. You will look for them in their homes, their businesses, and their social circles, and they will simply be gone, their place in society erased.
