And Ruth said
Language: English
And Ruth said: Entreat me not to leave thee, Or to return from following after thee, For whither thou goest I will go, And where thou lodgest I will lodge. Thy people shall be my people And thy God my God. Where thou diest I will die And there will I be buried. The Lord do so to me, and more also, If aught but death part thee and me.
