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!” 18 Naomi then ceased to urge her, for she saw she was determined to go with her. Ruth 1:14-18, New American Bible Revised.
