Ruth 1:15 in Context — Ruth 1
13 attendriez-vous pour cela qu’ils eussent grandi, refuseriez-vous pour cela de vous marier? Non, mes filles! Car à cause de vous je suis dans une grande affliction de ce que la main de l’Éternel s’est étendue contre moi.
14 Et elles élevèrent la voix, et pleurèrent encore. Orpa baisa sa belle-mère, mais Ruth s’attacha à elle.
15 Naomi dit à Ruth: Voici, ta belle-sœur est retournée vers son peuple et vers ses dieux; retourne, comme ta belle-sœur.
16 Ruth répondit: Ne me presse pas de te laisser, de retourner loin de toi! Où tu iras j’irai, où tu demeureras je demeurerai; ton peuple sera mon peuple, et ton Dieu sera mon Dieu;
17 où tu mourras je mourrai, et j’y serai enterrée. Que l’Éternel me traite dans toute sa rigueur, si autre chose que la mort vient à me séparer de toi!
