Ruth 1:11-18

11But NaomiH5281 saidH559, “ReturnH7725, my daughtersH1323. WhyH4100 should you goH1980 with me? Do I stillH5750 have 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 were evenH1571 to haveH1961 a husbandH376 tonightH3915 and alsoH1571 giveH3205 birthH3205 to sonsH1121, 13would you thereforeH3860 waitH7663 untilH5704H834 they were grownH1431? Would you thereforeH3860 refrainH5702 from marryingH1115H1961H376? NoH408, my daughtersH1323; for it isH4843 muchH3966 moreH4480 bitterH4843 for me thanH4480 for you, becauseH3588 2the handH3027 of the LordH3068 has comeH3318 outH3318 against me.” 14And they raisedH5375 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 3godsH430; returnH7725 afterH310 your sister-in-lawH2994.” 16But RuthH7327 saidH559, “Do not pleadH6293 with me to leaveH5800 you or to turnH7725 backH7725 from followingH310 you; for whereH413H834 you goH1980, I will goH1980, and whereH834 you sleepH3885, I will sleepH3885. Your peopleH5971 shall be my peopleH5971, and your GodH430, my GodH430. 17WhereH834 you dieH4191, I will dieH4191, and thereH8033 I will be buriedH6912. May 4the LordH3068 doH6213 so to me, and worseH3541H3254, ifH3588 anything but deathH4194 separatesH6504 5me from you.” 18When 6she sawH7200 that she wasH553 determinedH553 to goH1980 with her, she stoppedH2308 speakingH1696 to her about it.
