Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.

Verse 17 is found in chapter 2 of Proverbs. When wisdom enters the heart, it protects against two distinct threats: wicked men and the forbidden woman who forsakes the covenant of her youth. The contrast shows that discernment protects both from public violence and intimate unfaithfulness. The section ends by contrasting two paths: those who walk uprightly remain in the land, while the wicked are ultimately uprooted from it.

und verläßt den Freund ihrer Jugend und vergißt den Bund ihres Gottes
Que desampara el príncipe de su mocedad, Y se olvida del pacto de su Dios.
que abandona al compañero de su juventud y olvida el pacto de su Dios.
Qui abandonne l'ami de sa jeunesse, Et qui oublie l'alliance de son Dieu;
La quale ha abbandonato il conduttor della sua giovanezza, Ed ha dimenticato il patto del suo Dio.
Que deixa o guia da sua mocidade e se esquece da aliança do seu Deus;
她離棄年輕時的配偶, 忘了自己神聖的盟約。
