Ruth 1:16-17
Holman Christian Standard Bible
16 But Ruth replied:
Do not persuade me to leave you
or go back and not follow you.
For wherever you go, I will go,
and wherever you live, I will live;
your people will be my people,
and your God will be my God.
17 Where you die, I will die,
and there I will be buried.
May Yahweh punish me,[a](A)
and do so severely,
if anything but death separates you and me.
