Ruth 1:11-18

11But NaomiH5281 saidH559, “ReturnH7725, my daughtersH1323. WhyH4100 should you goH1980 with me? Have I yetH5750 sonsH1121 in my wombH4578, that 1they may be your husbandsH376? 12ReturnH7725, my daughtersH1323! GoH1980, for I amH2204 tooH4480 oldH2204 to haveH1961 a husbandH376. IfH3588 I saidH559 I haveH3426 hopeH8615, if I should evenH1571 haveH1961 a husbandH376 tonightH3915 and alsoH1571 bearH3205 sonsH1121, 13would you thereforeH3860 waitH7663 untilH5704H834 they were grownH1431? Would you thereforeH3860 refrainH5702 from marryingH1166H1961H376? NoH408, my daughtersH1323; for it is 2harderH3966H4843 for me thanH4480 for you, for 3the handH3027 of the LordH3068 has goneH3318 forthH3318 against me.” 14And they liftedH5375 up their voicesH6963 and weptH1058 againH5750; and OrpahH6204 kissedH5401 her mother-in-lawH2545, but RuthH7327 clungH1692 to her.

15Then she saidH559, “BeholdH2009, your sister-in-lawH2994 has goneH7725 backH7725 to her peopleH5971 and her 4godsH430; returnH7725 afterH310 your sister-in-lawH2994.” 16But RuthH7327 saidH559, “Do not urgeH6293 me to leaveH5800 you or turnH7725 backH7725 from followingH310 you; for whereH413H834 you goH1980, I will goH1980, and whereH834 you lodgeH3885, I will lodgeH3885. Your peopleH5971 shall be my peopleH5971, and your GodH430, my GodH430. 17WhereH834 you dieH4191, I will dieH4191, and thereH8033 I will be buriedH6912. ThusH3541 may 5the LordH3068 doH6213 to me, and worseH3541H3254, ifH3588 anything but deathH4194 partsH6504 you and me.” 18When 6she sawH7200 that she was determinedH553 to goH1980 with her, she 7saidH1696 noH2308 more to her.
