Ruth 1:16-18

16Ruth said to Naomi, ‘Do not say that I must leave you. I will go with you, wherever you go. I will live wherever you live. You belong to Israel's people. I will belong to them too. Your God will be my God.

17I will die in the same place that you die. That is where people will bury me. I will stay beside you until death makes us separate. If I ever leave you, the Lord should punish me.’

18Then Naomi understood that Ruth would not agree to return to her own country. So she stopped saying that Ruth should leave her.
