Who forsakes the companion of her youth, And forgets the covenant of her God.
18
For her house leads down to death, And her paths to the dead;
19
None who go to her return, Nor do they regain the paths of life--
20
So you may walk in the way of goodness, And keep to the paths of righteousness.
21
For the upright will dwell in the land, And the blameless will remain in it;
22
But the wicked will be cut off from the earth, And the unfaithful will be uprooted from it.
