“Also if a woman makes a vow to the LORD and binds herself by a pledge [of abstinence], while living in her father’s house in her youth,

These are the statutes which the LORD commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, and between a father and his daughter while she is a youth in her father’s house.

“For You write bitter things against me [in Your indictment]

And make me inherit and suffer for the iniquities of my youth.

(But from my youth the orphan grew up with me as with a father,

And from my mother’s womb I have been the widow’s guide),

Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions;

According to Your lovingkindness remember me,

For Your goodness’ sake, O LORD.

For You are my hope;

O Lord GOD, You are my trust and the source of my confidence from my youth.

O God, You have taught me from my youth,

And I still declare Your wondrous works and miraculous deeds.

Who satisfies your years with good things,

So that your youth is renewed like the [soaring] eagle.

Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,

So are the children of one’s youth.

A Song of [fn]Ascents.

“Many times they have persecuted me (Israel) from my youth,”

Let Israel now say,

Let our sons in their youth be like plants full grown,

And our daughters like corner pillars fashioned for a palace;

Who leaves the companion (husband) of her youth,

And forgets the covenant of her God.

Let your fountain (wife) be blessed [with the rewards of fidelity],

And rejoice in the wife of your youth.

“Persist, then, [Babylon] in your enchantments

And your many sorceries

With which you have labored from your youth;

Perhaps you will be able to profit [from them],

Perhaps you may prevail and cause trembling.

“This is how they have become to you, those [astrologers and sorcerers] with whom you have labored,

Those who have done business with you from your youth;

Each has wandered in his own way.

There is no one to save you.

“For the LORD has called you,

Like a wife who has been abandoned, grieved in spirit,

And like a wife [married] in her youth when she is [later] rejected and scorned,”

Says your God.

“I remember [earnestly] the lovingkindness and devotion of [fn]your youth,

Your time of betrothal [like that of a bride during the early years in Egypt and again at Sinai],

When you followed Me in the wilderness,

Through a land not sown.

‘My Father, you were the guide and companion of my youth?

“But the shameful act [of idolatry] has consumed the labor of our fathers since our youth—their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.

But you said, ‘I will not listen!’

After I was instructed, I struck my thigh [in remorse];

I was ashamed and even humiliated

Because I carried the disgrace of my youth [as a nation].’

“Moab has been at ease from his youth;

He has also been undisturbed, and settled like wine on his dregs,

And he has not been emptied from one vessel to another,

It is good for a man that he should bear

The yoke [of godly discipline] in his youth.

And make the Valley of Achor a door of hope and expectation [anticipating the time when I will restore My favor on her].

As in the day when she came up from the land of Egypt.

Wail like a virgin [bride] clothed with [fn]sackcloth

For the bridegroom of her youth [who has died].
