"who forsakes the friend of her youth, and forgets the covenant of her God:"
— Proverbs 2:17, World English Bible
“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 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 perverseness of evil;
who are crooked in their ways, and wayward in their paths:
To deliver you from the strange woman, even from the foreigner who flatters with her words;
who forsakes the friend of her youth, and forgets the covenant of her God:
for her house leads down to death, her paths to the dead.
None who go to her return again, neither do they attain to the paths of life:
that you may walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
