rsv@Ruth:1:14 @ Then they lifted up their voices and wept again; and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her.
rsv@Ruth:1:15 @ And she said, "See, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods; return after your sister-in-law."
rsv@Ruth:1:16 @ 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;
rsv@Ruth:1:17 @ 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."
rsv@Ruth:1:18 @ And when Na'omi saw that she was determined to go with her, she said no more.
rsv@Ruth:1:19 @ So the two of them went on until they came to Bethlehem. And when they came to Bethlehem, the whole town was stirred because of them; and the women said, "Is this Na'omi?"
rsv@Ruth:1:20 @ She said to them, "Do not call me Na'omi, call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.
rsv@Ruth:1:21 @ I went away full, and the LORD has brought me back empty. Why call me Na'omi, when the LORD has afflicted me and the Almighty has brought calamity upon me?"
rsv@Ruth:1:22 @ So Na'omi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess her daughter-in-law with her, who returned from the country of Moab. And they came to Bethlehem at the beginning of barley harvest.
