Ruth 1:15-22

15And she said, “Look, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods; return after your sister-in-law.”

16But Ruth said: “Entreat me not to leave you, Or to turn back from following after you; For wherever you go, I will go; And wherever you lodge, I will lodge; Your people shall be my people, And your God, my God.

17Where you die, I will die, And there will I be buried. The Lord do so to me, and more also, If anything but death parts you and me.”

18When she saw that she was determined to go with her, she stopped speaking to her.

19Now the two of them went until they came to Bethlehem. And it happened, when they had come to Bethlehem, that all the city was excited because of them; and the women said, “Is this Naomi?”

20But she said to them, “Do not call me Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.

21I went out full, and the Lord has brought me home again empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since the Lord has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me?”

22So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess her daughter-in-law with her, who returned from the country of Moab. Now they came to Bethlehem at the beginning of barley harvest.
