New King James Version
Ruth 1:14-17
New King James Version
14 Then they lifted up their voices and wept again; and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth (A)clung to her.
15 And she said, “Look, your sister-in-law has gone back to (B)her people and to her gods; (C)return after your sister-in-law.”
16 But Ruth said:
(D)“Entreat[a] 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;
(E)Your people shall be my people,
And your God, my God.
17 Where you die, I will die,
And there will I be buried.
(F)The Lord do so to me, and more also,
If anything but death parts you and me.”
