^(A)“Entreat^[a] me not to leave you,
Or to turn back from following after you;
For wherever you go, I will go;
And wherever you lodge, I will lodge;
^(B)Your people shall be my people,
And your God, my God.
¹⁷ Where you die, I will die,
And there will I be buried.
^(C)The Lord do so to me, and more also,
If anything but death parts you and me.”

^17 (A)A friend loves at all times,
And a brother is born for adversity.
