“Wilt thou keep the old way Which wicked men have trodden? ”
“Will you keep the old way, which wicked men have trodden,”
“Will you keep to the old path that evil men have walked–”
“Dost thou desire to keep the path of ages, which wicked men have spurned?”
“Will you keep the old way by which evil men went?”
“Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?”

Do you not want to tend the path of the ages, which wicked men have spurned?
