Ruth 1:7-17

7Wherefore she went forth out of the place where she had been, and her two daughters-in-law with her; and they went on the way to return to the land of Judah.

8And Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, Go, return each to her mother's house. Jehovah deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead and with me.

9Jehovah grant you that ye may find rest, each in the house of her husband. And she kissed them; and they lifted up their voice and wept.

10And they said to her, We will certainly return with thee to thy people.

11And Naomi said, Return, my daughters: why will ye go with me? Are there yet sons in my womb, that they could be your husbands?

12Return, my daughters, go; for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say, I have hope, should I even have a husband to-night, and should I also bear sons,

13would ye wait on that account till they were grown? Would ye stay on that account from having husbands? No, my daughters, for I am in much more bitterness than you; for the hand of Jehovah is gone out against me.

14And they lifted up their voice and wept again. And Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clave to her.

15And she said, Behold, thy sister-in-law is gone back to her people and to her 1gods: return after thy sister-in-law.

16And Ruth said, Do not intreat me to leave thee, to return from [following] after thee; for whither thou goest I will go, and where thou lodgest I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy 2God my 3God;

17where thou diest will I die, and there will I be buried. Jehovah do so to me, and more also, if aught but death part me and thee!
