Bible in Basic English
"Who is false to the husband of her early years, and does not keep the agreement of her God in mind:"
— Proverbs 2:17, Bible in Basic English
“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,”
“Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.”
Who take pleasure in wrongdoing, and have joy in the evil designs of the sinner;
Whose ways are not straight, and whose footsteps are turned to evil:
To take you out of the power of the strange woman, who says smooth words with her tongue;
Who is false to the husband of her early years, and does not keep the agreement of her God in mind:
For her house is on the way down to death; her footsteps go down to the shades:
Those who go to her do not come back again; their feet do not keep in the ways of life:
So that you may go in the way of good men, and keep in the footsteps of the upright.
