Ruth 1:16-22  (New International Version)<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

16 <\/sup>But Ruth replied, \u201cDon\u2019t 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.<\/span> 17 <\/sup>Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord<\/span> deal with me, be it ever so severely,if even death separates you and me.\u201d<\/span> 18 <\/sup>When Naomi realized that Ruth was determined to go with her, she stopped urging her.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

19 <\/sup>So the two women went on until they came to Bethlehem. When they arrived in Bethlehem, the whole town was stirred because of them, and the women exclaimed, \u201cCan this be Naomi?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

20 <\/sup>\u201cDon\u2019t call me Naomi,\u201d she told them. \u201cCall me Mara, because the Almighty has made my life very bitter.<\/span> 21 <\/sup>I went away full, but the Lord<\/span>has brought me back empty. Why call me Naomi? The Lord<\/span> has afflictedme; the Almighty has brought misfortune upon me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

22 <\/sup>So Naomi returned from Moab accompanied by Ruth the Moabite, her daughter-in-law, arriving in Bethlehem as the barley harvest was beginning.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
