¹⁶ And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:

⁸ Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

⁷ How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.
