15 Then she said, “Behold, your sister-in-law has returned to her people and her (A)gods; return after your sister-in-law.” 16 But Ruth said, “Do not press me to forsake you in turning back from following you; for where you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God. 17 Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. Thus may (B)Yahweh do to me, and more, if anything but death separates you and me.”

For wherever you go, I will go;
And wherever you lodge, I will lodge;
(D)Your people shall be my people,

If anything but death parts you and me.”
