highlighted Ruth 1:11-18 ESV

But Naomi said, "Turn back, my daughters; why will you go with me? Have I yet sons in my womb that they may become your husbands?Turn back, my daughters; go your way, for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say I have hope, even if I should have a husband this night and should bear sons,would you therefore wait till they were grown? Would you therefore refrain from marrying? No, my daughters, for it is exceedingly bitter to me for your sake that the hand of the Lord has gone out against me."Then they lifted up their voices and wept again. And Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her.And she said, "See, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods; return after your sister-in-law."But Ruth said, "Do not urge me to leave you or to return 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 will I be buried. May the Lord do so to me and more also if anything but death parts me from you."And when Naomi saw that she was determined to go with her, she said no more.
