14Then again they were weeping; and Orpah gave her mother-in-law a kiss, but Ruth would not be parted from her.
15And Naomi said, See, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods: go back after your sister-in-law.
16But Ruth said, Give up requesting me to go away from you, or to go back without you: for where you go I will go; and where you take your rest I will take my rest; your people will be my people, and your God my God.
17Wherever death comes to you, death will come to me, and there will be my last resting-place; the Lord do so to me and more if we are parted by anything but death.
18And when she saw that Ruth was strong in her purpose to go with her she said no more.
19So the two of them went on till they came to Beth-lehem. And when they came to Beth-lehem all the town was moved about them, and they said, Is this Naomi?
