NET Bible
"Again they wept loudly. Then Orpah kissed her mother-in-law goodbye, but Ruth clung tightly to her."
— Ruth 1:14, NET Bible
“And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her.”
“And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clave unto her. ”
“They lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth joined with her.”
“And they lifted up their voice, and began to weep again: Orpha kissed her mother in law, and returned: Ruth stuck close to her mother in law.”
“Then again they were weeping; and Orpah gave her mother-in-law a kiss, but Ruth would not be parted from her.”
“And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her.”
But Naomi replied,“Go back home, my daughters! There is no reason for you to return to Judah with me! I am no longer capable of giving birth to sons who might become your husbands!
Go back home, my daughters! For I am too old to get married again. Even if I thought that there was hope that I could get married tonight and conceive sons,
surely you would not want to wait until they were old enough to marry! Surely you would not remain unmarried all that time! No, my daughters, you must not return with me. For my intense suffering is too much for you to bear. For the LORD is afflicting me!”
Again they wept loudly. Then Orpah kissed her mother-in-law goodbye, but Ruth clung tightly to her.
So Naomi said,“Look, your sister-in-law is returning to her people and to her god. Follow your sister-in-law back home!”
But Ruth replied,“Stop urging me to abandon you! For wherever you go, I will go. Wherever you live, I will live. Your people will become my people, and your God will become my God.
Wherever you die, I will die– and there I will be buried. May the LORD punish me severely if I do not keep my promise! Only death will be able to separate me from you!”
