15. And she said, Behold, your sister-in-law has gone back unto her people, and unto her gods: return you after your sister-in-law.
16. And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave you, or to return from following after 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:
17. Where you die, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if anything but death parts you and me.
18. When she saw that she was steadfastly minded to go with her, then she ceased speaking unto her.
19. So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Bethlehem, that all the city was stirred because of them, and they said, Is this Naomi?
20. And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.
21. I went out full, and the LORD has brought me home again empty: why then call you me Naomi, seeing the LORD has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me?
