Your people will be my people and your God my God. 17 Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the LORD deal with me, be it ever so severely, if anything but death separates you and me." 18 When Naomi realized that Ruth was determined to go with her, she stopped urging her.

1:16b Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God.
I have so many friends and loved ones who I long to hear say something similar to that! And just for the record that may be the first time I have ever used "long" like that! Does that make me officially a dork now?
