They lifted up their voices and wept again; then Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth stayed with her.
She said, “Behold, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her god.
Follow your sister-in-law.”
Ruth said, “Don’t urge me to leave you, and to return from following you, for where you go, I will go; and where you stay, I will stay.
Your people will be my people, and your God my God.
Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried.
May the LORD do so to me, and more also, if anything but death parts you and me.”
