American Standard Version
Ruth 1:13-15
American Standard Version
13 would ye therefore tarry till they were grown? would ye therefore stay from having husbands? nay, my daughters, for it [a]grieveth me much for your sakes, for the hand of Jehovah is gone forth against me. 14 And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clave unto her.
15 And she said, Behold, thy sister-in-law is gone back unto her people, and unto her god: return thou after thy sister-in-law.
