At this they wept aloud again. Then Orpah kissed her mother-in-law goodbye, but Ruth clung to her.

But Ruth replied, “Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God.

When Naomi realized that Ruth was determined to go with her, she stopped urging her.

Then they lifted up their voices and wept again. And Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her.

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.

And when Naomi saw that she was determined to go with her, she said no more.

And again they wept together, and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law good-bye. But Ruth clung tightly to Naomi.

But Ruth replied, “Don’t ask me to leave you and turn back. 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.

When Naomi saw that Ruth was determined to go with her, she said nothing more.

Again they wept loudly, and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her.

But Ruth replied: Don’t plead with me to abandon you or to return and not follow you. For wherever you go, I will go, and wherever you live, I will live; your people will be my people, and your God will be my God.

When Naomi saw that Ruth was determined to go with her, she stopped talking to her.

And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her.

And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or 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

When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her.

Then they lifted up their voices and wept again; and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her.

But Ruth said: “Entreat 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; Your people shall be my people, And your God, my God.

When she saw that she was determined to go with her, she stopped speaking to her.

Again they cried openly. Orpah kissed her mother-in-law good-bye; but Ruth embraced her and held on.

But Ruth said, “Don’t force me to leave you; don’t make me go home. Where you go, I go; and where you live, I’ll live. Your people are my people, your God is my god; where you die, I’ll die, and that’s where I’ll be buried, so help me GOD—not even death itself is going to come between us!”

When Naomi saw that Ruth had her heart set on going with her, she gave in. And so the two of them traveled on together to Bethlehem. When they arrived in Bethlehem the whole town was soon buzzing: “Is this really our Naomi? And after all this time!”

And they raised their voices and wept again; and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her.

Again they wept loudly. Then Orpah kissed her mother-in-law goodbye, but Ruth clung tightly to her.

But Ruth replied, “Stop urging me to abandon you! For wherever you go, I will go. Wherever you live, I will live. Your people will become my people, and your God will become my God.

When Naomi realized that Ruth was determined to go with her, she stopped trying to dissuade her.
