1.16-17 = But Ruth said, "Do not urge me to leave you
or turn back from following you; for where you go, I will go, and
where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and
your God, my God. Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. Thus
may the LORD do to me, and worse, if anything but
death parts you and me."
