15. Naomi said, “Look, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her god. Follow your sister-in-law.”
16. But Ruth replied:Do not persuade me to leave youor go back and not follow you.For wherever you go, I will go,and wherever you live, I will live;your people will be my people,and your God will be my God.
17. Where you die, I will die,and there I will be buried.May Yahweh punish me, and do so severely,if anything but death separates you and me.
