Ruth 1:16-18
New Century Version
Ruth Stays with Naomi
16 But Ruth said, “Don’t beg me to leave you or to stop following you. Where you go, I will go. Where you live, I will live. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God. 17 And where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. I ask the Lord to punish me terribly if I do not keep this promise: Not even death will separate us.”
18 When Naomi saw that Ruth had firmly made up her mind to go with her, she stopped arguing with her.
