^(A)“Entreat^[a] me not to leave you,
Or to turn back from following after you;
For wherever you go, I will go;
And wherever you lodge, I will lodge;
^(B)Your people shall be my people,
And your God, my God.

²⁴ A man who has friends ^[a]must himself be friendly,
^(A)But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
