Ruth 1:14-22
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 1godsH430; 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 2the LordH3068 doH6213 so to me, and worseH3541H3254, ifH3588 anything but deathH4194 separatesH6504 3me from you.” 18When 4she sawH7200 that she wasH553 determinedH553 to goH1980 with her, she stoppedH2308 speakingH1696 to her about it.
19So they bothH8147 wentH1980 on untilH5704 they cameH935 to BethlehemH1035. And when they had comeH935 to BethlehemH1035, 5allH3605 the cityH5892 was stirredH1949 becauseH5921 of them, and 6the women saidH559, “Is thisH2088 NaomiH5281?” 20But she saidH559 to them, “Do not callH7121 me 7NaomiH5281; callH7121 me 8MaraH4755, for 910the AlmightyH7706 has dealtH4843 veryH3966 bitterlyH4843 with me. 21I wentH1980 away fullH4392, but 11the LordH3068 has broughtH7725 me backH7725 emptyH7387. WhyH4100 do you callH7121 me NaomiH5281, since the LordH3068 has testifiedH6030 against me and 12the AlmightyH7706 has afflictedH7489 me?”
22So NaomiH5281 returnedH7725, and with her RuthH7327 the MoabitessH4125, her daughter-in-lawH3618, who returnedH7725 from the landH7704 of MoabH4124. And they cameH935 to BethlehemH1035 at 13the beginningH8462 of barleyH8184 harvestH7105.
