May the Lord deal with me, be it ever so severely, if anything but death separates you and me.” When Naomi realized that Ruth was DETERMINED to go with her, she stopped urging her.

Boaz said to Ruth, “My daughter, listen to me. Don’t go and glean in another field and don’t go away from here. Stay here with my servant girls.

And whenever you are thirsty, go and get a drink from the water jars the men have filled.” At this, she bowed down with her face to the ground. She exclaimed, “Why have I found such favor in your eyes that you notice me—a foreigner?”
