“For she has set her house by death, and her paths by the place of the departed spirits.”
“And hath forgotten the covenant of her God: for her house inclineth unto death, and her paths to hell.”
“For her house is on the way down to death; her footsteps go down to the shades:”
“For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.”

and who leaves behind the Guide of her youth,

All those who enter to her will not return again, nor will they take hold of the paths of life.
So may you walk in the good way, and keep to the difficult paths of the just.
For those who are upright shall live upon the earth, and the simple shall continue upon it.
