17 Who is forsaking the guide of her youth, And has forgotten the covenant of her God.
Who leaves [the] close friend of youth her and [the] covenant of God her she forgets.
18 For her house has inclined to death, And her paths to Rephaim.

19 None going in to her return, Nor do they reach the paths of life.
All [those who] go to her not they return! and not they reach [the] paths of life.
20 That you go in the way of the good, And keep the paths of the righteous.
So that you may walk in [the] way of good [people] and [the] paths of righteous [people] you will keep.
21 For the upright inhabit the earth, And the perfect are left in it,
For upright [people] (they will dwell *L(bah)*) [the] land and blameless [people] they will remain in it.
22 And the wicked are cut off from the earth, And treacherous dealers plucked out of it!
And wicked [people] from [the] land they will be cut off and treacherous [people] they will be torn away from it.
