Ruth 1:11-18

11And NaomiH5281 saidH559, Turn againH7725, my daughtersH1323: why will ye goH3212 with me? are there yet any more sonsH1121 in my wombH4578, that they may be your husbandsH582? 12Turn againH7725, my daughtersH1323, goH3212 your way ; for I am too oldH2204 to have an husbandH376. If I should sayH559, I haveH3426 hopeH8615, if I should have an husbandH376 also to nightH3915, and should also bearH3205 sonsH1121;1 13Would ye waitH7663 for themH3860 till they should be grownH1431? would ye restrainH5702 yourselvesH3860 from having husbandsH376? nay, my daughtersH1323; for it grievethH4843 me muchH3966 for your sakes that the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 hast gone outH3318 against me.23 14And they lifted upH5375 their voiceH6963, and wept againH1058: and OrpahH6204 kissedH5401 her mother in lawH2545; but RuthH7327 clungH1692 to her. 15And she saidH559, Behold, thy sister in lawH2994 hath gone backH7725 to her peopleH5971, and to her godsH430: returnH7725 thou afterH310 thy sister in lawH2994. 16And RuthH7327 saidH559, EntreatH6293 me not to leaveH5800 thee, or to turn awayH7725 from followingH310 thee: for where thou goestH3212, I will goH3212; and where thou lodgestH3885, I will lodgeH3885: thy peopleH5971 shall be my peopleH5971, and thy GodH430 my GodH430:4 17Where thou diestH4191, will I dieH4191, and there will I be buriedH6912: the LORDH3068 doH6213 so to me, and moreH3254 also, if any thing but deathH4194 shall partH6504 thee and me. 18When she sawH7200 that she was steadfastly resolvedH553 to goH3212 with her, then she finishedH2308 speakingH1696 to her.5
