Ruth:1:6-18
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then she arose with her daughters in law ,
that she might return from the country of Moab :
for she had heard in the country of Moab how that the LORD had visited his people in giving them bread .
*
Wherefore she went forth out of the place where she was ,
and her two daughters in law with her ;
and they went on the way to return unto the land of Judah .
*
And Naomi said unto her two daughters in law ,
Go ,
return each to her mother '
s house :
the LORD deal kindly with you ,
as ye have dealt with the dead ,
and with me .
*
The LORD grant you that ye may find rest ,
each of you in the house of her husband .
Then she kissed them ;
and they lifted up their voice ,
and wept .
*
And they said unto her ,
Surely we will return with thee unto thy people .
*
And Naomi said ,
Turn again ,
my daughters :
why will ye go with me ?
are there yet any more sons in my womb ,
that they may be your husbands ?
*
Turn again ,
my daughters ,
go your way ;
for I am too old to have an husband .
If I should say ,
I have hope ,
if I should have an husband also to night ,
and should also bear sons ;
*
Would ye tarry for them till they were grown ?
would ye stay for them from having husbands ?
nay ,
my daughters ;
for it grieveth me much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD is gone out against me .
*
And they lifted up their voice ,
and wept again :
and Orpah kissed her mother in law ;
but Ruth clave unto her .
*
And she said ,
Behold ,
thy sister in law is gone back unto her people ,
and unto her gods :
return thou after thy sister in law .
*
And Ruth said ,
Intreat me not to leave thee ,
or to return from following after thee :
for whither thou goest ,
I will go ;
and where thou lodgest ,
I will lodge :
thy people shall be my people ,
and thy God my God :
*
Where thou diest ,
will I die ,
and there will I be buried :
the LORD do so to me ,
and more also ,
if ought but death part thee and me .
*
When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her ,
then she left speaking unto her .
