17. Who forsakes the companion of her youth, And has forgotten the covenant of her Elohim.
18. For her house has sunk down to death, And her paths to the dead;
19. None going in to her does return, Nor do they reach the paths of life –
20. So walk in the way of goodness, And guard the paths of righteousness.
21. For the straight shall dwell in the earth, And the perfect be left in it;
22. But the wrong shall be cut off from the earth, And the treacherous ones plucked out of it.
