Ruth 1:18
Left speaking unto her - See the power of resolution! Those who are half - resolved, are like a door a - jar, which invites a thief. But resolution shuts and bolts he door, and then the devil flees from us.
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.”
18 aWhen she saw that she1 was determined to go with her, she stopped speaking to her.
19 Now the two of them went until they came to Bethlehem. And it happened, when they had come to Bethlehem, that aall the city was excited because of them; and the women said, b“Is this Naomi?”
20 But she said to them, “Do not call me1 Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.
