Evangelical Heritage Version

16 But Ruth said, “Do not urge me to abandon you or to turn back from following you. Because wherever you go, I will go, and wherever you make your home, I will make my home. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God. 17 Wherever you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord punish me severely and double it[a] if anything but death[b] separates me from you.”

18 When Naomi saw that Ruth was determined to go with her, she stopped urging her.
