14 Again they wept aloud; then Orpah kissed her mother-in-law good-bye, but Ruth clung to her. 15 “See now,” she said, “your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and her god. Go back after your sister-in-law!” 16 But Ruth said, “Do not press me to go back and abandon you! Wherever you go I will go, wherever you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people and your God, my God. 17 Where you die I will die, and there be buried. May the LORD do thus to me, and more, if even death separates me from you!” Ruth 1:14-17, New American Bible Revised. Copyright © 2010 USCCB.
