What does it mean that the name of the wicked shall rot?

Answered in 1 source

The name of the wicked rots as they are separated from God's blessings due to their rejection of Him.

Proverbs 10:7 contrasts the blessed memory of the just with the fate of the wicked, whose names shall rot. This signifies that those who are not justified, who remain in their sin and rejection of Christ, will ultimately face God's judgment. Their works cannot merit favor with God, and thus their names will not be found in the book of life (Revelation 20:15). The rotting of their name is symbolic of their ultimate separation from the life-giving presence of God, emphasizing the necessity of faith in Christ for eternal acceptance.
