Ruth 1:6-18

6Then she aroseH6965 with her daughters-in-lawH3618 to returnH7725 from the landH7704 of MoabH4124, becauseH3588 she had heardH8085 in the landH7704 of MoabH4124 that the LordH3068 had 1visitedH6485 His peopleH5971 by 2givingH5414 them foodH3899. 7So she departedH3318 from the placeH4725 whereH834H8033 she was, and her twoH8147 daughters-in-lawH3618 with her; and they wentH1980 on the wayH1870 to returnH7725 to the landH776 of JudahH3063. 8But NaomiH5281 saidH559 to her twoH8147 daughters-in-lawH3618, “GoH1980, returnH7725 eachH802 of you to 3your mother’sH517 houseH1004. 4May the LordH3068 dealH6213 kindlyH2617 with you as you have dealtH6213 with the deadH4191 and with me. 9May the LordH3068 grantH5414 that you may findH4672 a placeH4496 ofH4496 restH4496, eachH802 oneH802 in the houseH1004 of her husbandH376.” Then she kissedH5401 them, and they raisedH5375 their voicesH6963 and weptH1058. 10However, they saidH559 to her, “No, but we will returnH7725 with you to your peopleH5971.” 11But NaomiH5281 saidH559, “ReturnH7725, my daughtersH1323. WhyH4100 should you goH1980 with me? Do I stillH5750 have sonsH1121 in my wombH4578, that 5they 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 6the 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 7godsH430; 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 8the LordH3068 doH6213 so to me, and worseH3541H3254, ifH3588 anything but deathH4194 separatesH6504 9me from you.” 18When 10she sawH7200 that she wasH553 determinedH553 to goH1980 with her, she stoppedH2308 speakingH1696 to her about it.
