15So Naomi said to her, “Ruth, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her god. Go back home with her.”
16But Ruth answered, “Don't 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. 17Wherever you die, I will die, and that is where I will be buried. May the LORD's worst punishment come upon me if I let anything but death separate me from you!”
18When Naomi saw that Ruth was determined to go with her, she said nothing more.
