Ruth 1:11-18

11But Naomi said, “Return, my daughters. Why should you go with me? Do I still have sons in my womb, that 1they may be your husbands? 12Return, my daughters! Go, for I am too old to have a husband. If I said I have hope, if I were even to have a husband tonight and also give birth to sons, 13would you therefore wait until they were grown? Would you therefore refrain from marrying? No, my daughters; for it is much more bitter for me than for you, because 2the hand of the Lord has come out against me.” 14And they raised their voices and wept again; and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her.

15Then she said, “Behold, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and her 3gods; return after your sister-in-law.” 16But Ruth said, “Do not plead with me to leave you or to turn back from following you; for where you go, I will go, and where you sleep, I will sleep. Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God. 17Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. May 4the Lord do so to me, and worse, if anything but death separates 5me from you.” 18When 6she saw that she was determined to go with her, she stopped speaking to her about it.
