But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
The verse reveals the final end of the two classes who will exist until the second coming of Christ, the righteous and the wicked, the loyal and the rebellious. The righteous are those who fear God, who rely by faith on the promised Sacrifice, and who faithfully obey His commandments. For the sake of His dear Son, God will remember them and respect and honor them and give them everlasting life. This is shown by the translation of Enoch, a descendant of fallen Adam, proving that obedient faith from fallen humanity can be honored with life unbroken by death.
The wicked are those who trample on God's authority. He will cut them off and destroy them from the earth. That destruction will be so complete that it will be as though they had never existed.
