NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ They started crying again. Orpah kissed her mother-in-law good-bye and went back home. Ruth held on to her. ¹⁵ Naomi said to her: »Ruth, your sister-in-law went back to her people and her gods. Go back home with her. ¹⁶ Ruth replied: »Do not ask me to leave you! Let me go with you. Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you live, I will live. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God. ¹⁷ »Wherever you die, I will die. That is where I will be buried. May Jehovah’s worst punishment come upon me if I let anything but death separate me from you!« ¹⁸ When she saw that Ruth was determined to go with her, she said no more.
