ponder.
the path.
her.
 So low had become the moral state of Israel, that even the daughters of the people of God had fallen into the degradation of the heathen, as is evident from the words already noticed in chapter 2:17. Though called a “stranger” or “foreigner,” she had “forsaken the guide of her youth, and forgotten the covenant of her God.” Hence she is viewed as an outsider, having no place in the congregation of the Lord. (Proverbs Five by H.A. Ironside)
