*
But Na '
omi said , "
Turn back ,
my daughters ,
why will you go with me ?
Have I yet sons in my womb that they may become your husbands ?
*
Turn back ,
my daughters ,
go your way ,
for I am too old to have a husband .
If I should say I have hope ,
even if I should have a husband this night and should bear sons ,
*
would you therefore wait till they were grown ?
Would you therefore refrain from marrying ?
No ,
my daughters ,
for it is exceedingly bitter to me for your sake that the hand of the LORD has gone forth against me ."
*
Then they lifted up their voices and wept again ;
and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law ,
but Ruth clung to her .
*
And she said , "
See ,
your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods ;
return after your sister-in-law ."
*
But Ruth said , "
Entreat me not to leave you or to return 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 ;
*
where you die I will die ,
and there will I be buried .
May the LORD do so to me and more also if even death parts me from you ."
*
And when Na '
omi saw that she was determined to go with her ,
she said no more .
