Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God. 17 Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried.

  1. Ruth 1:17 Lit between me and you

15 And she said, “Look, your sister-in-law has gone back to (A)her people and to her gods; (B)return after your sister-in-law.”

16 But Ruth said:

(C)“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;
(D)Your people shall be my people,
And your God, my God.
17 Where you die, I will die,
And there will I be buried.
(E)The Lord do so to me, and more also,
If anything but death parts you and me.”

18 (F)When she saw that she [b]was determined to go with her, she stopped speaking to her.
