Ruth

15
"Look," said Naomi, "your sister-in-law is going back to her people
and her gods. Go back with her."
16
But Ruth replied, "Don't urge me to leave you or to turn back from you.
Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will
be my people and your God my God.
17
Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the LORD deal
with me, be it ever so severely, if anything but death separates you and
me."
18
When Naomi realized that Ruth was determined to go with her, she stopped
urging her. |

Then she said, "Behold, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people
and her gods; return after your sister-in-law."
16
But Ruth said, "Do not urge me to leave you or turn back from following
you; for where you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge. Your
people shall be my people, and your God, my God.
17
Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. Thus may the
LORD do to me, and worse, if anything but death parts you and me."

When she saw that she was determined to go with her, she said no more
to her. |
