Ruth 1:11-18

11And NaomiH5281 saidH559, TurnH7725 againH5750, my daughtersH1323: whyH4100 will ye goH7725 with me? have I yetH5750 sonsH1121 in my womb, that they may beH1961 your husbandsH376? 12TurnH7725 again, my daughtersH1323, goH7725 your way; for I amH1961 too old to have a husbandH376. If I should sayH559, I have hopeH8615, if I should even have a husbandH376 to-night, and should alsoH1571 bearH3205 sonsH1121; 13would ye therefore tarry till they were grownH1431? would ye therefore stay from having husbandsH376? nay, my daughtersH1323, for it grieveth me much for your sakes, for the handH3027 of Jehovah is goneH3318 forthH3318 against me. 14And they liftedH5375 up their voiceH6963, and weptH1058 againH5750: and OrpahH6204 kissedH5401 her mother-in-law, but RuthH7327 clave unto her.

15And she saidH559, Behold, thy sister-in-law is goneH7725 backH7725 unto her peopleH5971, and unto her godH430: returnH7725 thou after thy sister-in-law. 16And RuthH7327 saidH559, EntreatH6293 me not to leaveH5800 thee, and to returnH7725 from following after thee, for whither thou goest, I will goH7725; and whereH834 thou lodgest, I will lodge; thy peopleH5971 shall be my peopleH5971, and thy GodH430 my GodH430; 17whereH834 thou diest, will I dieH4191, and there will I be buriedH6912: Jehovah do so to me, and more also, if aught but deathH4191 part thee and me. 18And when she sawH7200 that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, she left off speakingH1696 unto her.
