Ruth 1:14-18
New Living Translation
14 And again they wept together, and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law good-bye. But Ruth clung tightly to Naomi. 15 “Look,” Naomi said to her, “your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods. You should do the same.”
16 But Ruth replied, “Don’t ask me to leave you and turn back. Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you live, I will live. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God. 17 Wherever you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord punish me severely if I allow anything but death to separate us!” 18 When Naomi saw that Ruth was determined to go with her, she said nothing more.

New International Version
14 At this they wept(A) aloud again. Then Orpah kissed her mother-in-law(B) goodbye,(C) but Ruth clung to her.(D)
15 “Look,” said Naomi, “your sister-in-law(E) is going back to her people and her gods.(F) Go back with her.”
16 But Ruth replied, “Don’t urge me to leave you(G) or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go,(H) and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people(I) and your God my God.(J) 17 Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord deal with me, be it ever so severely,(K) if even death separates you and me.”(L) 18 When Naomi realized that Ruth was determined to go with her, she stopped urging her.(M)
