Ruth 1:14-22
14And they lifted upH5375 their voiceH6963, and wept againH1058: and OrpahH6204 kissedH5401 her mother in lawH2545; but RuthH7327 claveH1692 unto her. 15And she saidH559, Behold, thy sister in lawH2994 is gone backH7725 unto her peopleH5971, and unto her godsH430: returnH7725 thou afterH310 thy sister in lawH2994. 16And RuthH7327 saidH559, IntreatH6293 me not to leaveH5800 thee, or to returnH7725 from following afterH310 thee: for whither thou goestH3212, I will goH3212; and where thou lodgestH3885, I will lodgeH3885: thy peopleH5971 shall be my peopleH5971, and thy GodH430 my GodH430:1 17Where thou diestH4191, will I dieH4191, and there will I be buriedH6912: YhwhH3068 doH6213 so to me, and moreH3254 also, if ought but deathH4194 partH6504 thee and me. 18When she sawH7200 that she was stedfastly mindedH553 to goH3212 with her, then she leftH2308 speakingH1696 unto her.2
19So they twoH8147 wentH3212 until they cameH935 to Beth–lehemH1035. And it came to pass, when they were comeH935 to Beth–lehemH1035, that all the cityH5892 was movedH1949 about them, and they saidH559, Is this NaomiH5281? 20And she saidH559 unto them, CallH7121 me not NaomiH5281, callH7121 me MaraH4755: for the AlmightyH7706 hath dealt veryH3966 bitterlyH4843 with me.34 21I went outH1980 fullH4392, And YhwhH3068 hath brought me home againH7725 emptyH7387: why then callH7121 ye me NaomiH5281, seeing YhwhH3068 hath testifiedH6030 against me, and the AlmightyH7706 hath afflictedH7489 me? 22So NaomiH5281 returnedH7725, and RuthH7327 the MoabitessH4125, her daughter in lawH3618, with her, which returnedH7725 out of the countryH7704 of MoabH4124: and they cameH935 to Beth–lehemH1035 in the beginningH8462 of barleyH8184 harvestH7105.
