Ruth 1:14-22

Ruth 1:14-22

[14] And they lifted up  their voice,  and wept again:  and Orpah  kissed  her mother in law;  but Ruth  clave  unto her. [15] And she said,  Behold, thy sister in law  is gone back  unto her people,  and unto her gods:  return  thou after  thy sister in law.  [16] And Ruth  said,  Intreat  me not to leave  thee, or to return  from following after  and where thou lodgest,  thy people  and thy God  [17] Where thou diest,  and there will I be buried:  the LORD  do  so to me, and more  also, if ought but death  part  thee and me. [18] When she saw  that she was stedfastly minded  with her, then she left  speaking  [19] So they two  until they came  to Bethlehem.  And it came to pass, when they were come  to Bethlehem,  that all the city  was moved  about them, and they said,  Is this Naomi?  [20] And she said  unto them, Call  me not Naomi,  call  me Mara:  for the Almighty  hath dealt very  bitterly  with me. [21] I went out  and the LORD  hath brought me home again  empty:  why then call  ye me Naomi,  seeing the LORD  hath testified  against me, and the Almighty  hath afflicted  me? [22] So Naomi  returned,  and Ruth  the Moabitess,  her daughter in law,  with her, which returned  out of the country  of Moab:  and they came  to Bethlehem  in the beginning  of barley  harvest.
