For where you go I will go, and where 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)May the Lord do so to me and more also if anything but death parts me from you.” 18 (D)And when Naomi saw that she was determined to go with her, she said no more.

Ruth 1:15-18
International Standard Version
15 Naomi told Ruth,[a] “Look, your sister-in-law has returned to her people and to her gods. Follow your sister-in-law!”
16 But Ruth answered, “Stop urging me to abandon you and to turn back from following you. Because wherever you go, I’ll go. Wherever you live, I’ll live. Your people will be my people, and your God, my God. 17 Where you die, I’ll die and be buried. May the Lord do this to me—and more—if anything[b] except death comes between you and me.”
18 When Naomi[c] observed Ruth’s[d] determination to travel with her, she ended the conversation.
