“We have happy memories of the godly,
but the name of a wicked person rots away.”
Proverbs 10:7 NLT
Certain people's names won't disappear from world history, or personal memory.
However, the emotional impact might be different. The memory of the godly will continue to bless and encourage, while the memory of the wicked will fade in its intensity.
Certain Proverbs are tricky to process and interpret correctly, and this is one of them. But this interpretation is where I suppose I "land"... It's not an absolute, sweeping promise, but a general statement of how things tend to be.
