To rescue H5337 you from the way H1870 of evil H7451,

From those who leave H5800 the paths H734 of uprightness H3476

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:17 -

Who leaves H5800 the companion H441 of her youth H5271

For her house H1004 sinks H7743 down H7743 to death H4194,

None H3605 H3808 who go H935 to her return H7725,

For the upright H3477 will live H7931 in H7931 the land H776,

But the wicked H7563 will be eliminated H3772 from the land H776,

And the treacherous H898 will be torn H5255 away H5255 from it.
