13 would you wait for them till they were grown? Would you restrain yourselves from having husbands? No, my daughters; for it grieves me very much for your sakes that athe hand of the Lord has gone out against me!”
14 Then they lifted up their voices and wept again; and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth aclung to her.
15 And she said, “Look, your sister-in-law has gone back to aher people and to her gods; breturn after your sister-in-law.”
16 But Ruth said:
a“Entreat1 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;
bYour people shall be my people,
And your God, my God.
a“Entreat1 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;
bYour people shall be my people,
And your God, my God.
17 Where you die, I will die,
And there will I be buried.
aThe Lord do so to me, and more also,
If anything but death parts you and me.”
And there will I be buried.
aThe Lord do so to me, and more also,
If anything but death parts you and me.”
