15 And Noemi said to her: Behold thy kinswoman is returned to her people, and to her gods, go thou with her.
16 She answered: Be not against me, to desire that I should leave thee and depart: for whithersoever thou shalt go, I will go: and where thou shalt dwell, I also will dwell. Thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God.
17 The land that shall receive thee dying, in the same will I die: and there will I be buried. The Lord do so and so to me, and add more also, if aught but death part me and thee.

20 But she said to them: Call me not Noemi, (that is, beautiful,) but call me Mara, (that is, bitter,) for the Almighty hath quite filled me with bitterness.

1:18And when she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, she left off speaking unto her.
1:18And when she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, she left off speaking to her.
1:18And when she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, she left speaking unto her.
1:18When she saw that she was steadfastly resolved to go with her, then she left speaking to her.
1:18When she saw that she was steadfastly minded to go with her, she left off speaking to her.
1:18And she seeth that she is strengthening herself to go with her, and she ceaseth to speak unto her;
1:18When she saw that she was steadfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking to her.
