9. Jehovah grant you that ye may find rest, each in the house of her husband. And she kissed them; and they lifted up their voice and wept.
10. And they said to her, We will certainly return with thee to thy people.
11. And Naomi said, Return, my daughters: why will ye go with me? Are there yet sons in my womb, that they could be your husbands?
12. Return, my daughters, go; for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say, I have hope, should I even have a husband to-night, and should I also bear sons,
13. would ye wait on that account till they were grown? Would ye stay on that account from having husbands? No, my daughters, for I am in much more bitterness than you; for the hand of Jehovah is gone out against me.
14. And they lifted up their voice and wept again. And Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clave to her.
15. And she said, Behold, thy sister-in-law is gone back to her people and to her gods: return after thy sister-in-law.
16. And Ruth said, Do not intreat me to leave thee, to return from following after thee; for whither thou goest I will go, and where thou lodgest I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God
17. where thou diest will I die, and there will I be buried. Jehovah do so to me, and more also, if aught but death part me and thee!
