¹⁷ That forsaketh the friend of her youth, And forgetteth the covenant of her God:

¹⁸ For her house inclineth unto death, And her paths unto the dead;

¹⁶ to remove thee far from the straight way, and to estrange thee from a righteous purpose. My son, let not evil counsel overtake thee,

¹⁷ of her who has forsaken the instruction of her youth, and forgotten the covenant of God.

¹⁸ For she has fixed her house near death, and guided her wheels near Hades with the giants.
