14 Then they lifted up their voices and wept again; and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth (Prov. 17:17)clung to her.
15 And she said, "Look, your sister-in-law has gone back to Judg. 11:24her people and to her gods; Josh. 1:15return after your sister-in-law." 16 But Ruth said:
2 Kin. 2:2, 4, 6"Entreat me not to leave you,
Orto turn back from following after you;
For wherever you go, I will go;
And wherever you lodge, I will lodge;
Ruth 2:11, 12Your people shallbe my people,
And your God, my God.
17 Where you die, I will die,
And there will I be buried.
1 Sam. 3:17; 2 Sam. 19:13; 2 Kin. 6:31The Lord do so to me, and more also,
If anythingbut death parts you and me."
