Ruth 1:16-17

16 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. ^aYour people shall be my people, and your God my God. 17 Where you die I will die, and there will I be buried. ^bMay the Lord do so to me and more also if anything but death parts me from you.”
