American King James Version
"Which forsakes the guide of her youth, and forgets the covenant of her God. "
— Proverbs 2:17, American King James Version
“Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.”
“That forsaketh the friend of her youth, And forgetteth the covenant of her God: ”
“who forsakes the friend of her youth, and forgets the covenant of her God:”
“who leaves the husband from her younger days, and has ignored her marriage covenant made before God.”
“And forsaketh the guide of her youth,”
“Who is false to the husband of her early years, and does not keep the agreement of her God in mind:”
“Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.”
Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
Whose ways are crooked, and they fraudulent in their paths:
To deliver you from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flatters with her words;
Which forsakes the guide of her youth, and forgets the covenant of her God.
For her house inclines to death, and her paths to the dead.
None that go to her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
That you may walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
