Forsaketh — Her husband whom she took to be her guide and governor, in her youth. The covenant — The marriage covenant: so called because God is the author of that mutual obligation: and because God is called to be the witness and judge of that solemn promise and covenant.

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