Rute 1:17 NVIPT

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Ruth 1:17

The Lord do so and so, &c. A form of swearing usual in the history of the Old Testament, by which the person wished such and such evils to fall upon them, if they did not do what they said. (Challoner) --- It is not certain that they expressed what particular evils. (Calmet) --- They might be willing to undergo any punishment, if they should transgress. (Haydock) --- The pagans used a similar form of imprecation, 3 Kings xix., and 4 Kings xx. 10. (Calmet) read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ruth 1:15-18

15-18 See Ruth's resolution, and her good affection to Naomi. Orpah was loth to part from her; yet she did not love her well enough to leave Moab for her sake. Thus, many have a value and affection for Christ, yet come short of salvation by him, because they will not forsake other things for him. They love him, yet leave him, because they do not love him enough, but love other things better. Ruth is an example of the grace of God, inclining the soul to choose the better part. Naomi could desire... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ruth 1:6-22

The Return of Naomi with Ruth v. 6. Then she arose with her daughters-in-law that she might return from the country of Moab, for it was understood that the younger women were merely to accompany her for some distance, perhaps to the boundary of the country; for she had heard in the country of Moab how that the Lord had visited His people, in mercy, in giving them bread, in delivering them from the ravages of the famine. v. 7. Wherefore she went forth out of the place where she was, where... read more

Ruth 1:7-18.Faithfulness until Death.7Wherefore [And] she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her;15 and they [already] went on the way to return unto the land of Judah. 8And Naomi said [Then said Naomi] unto her two daughters-in-law, Go, return each to her mother’s house: the Lord [Jehovah] deal kindly with you,16 9as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me. The Lord [Jehovah] grant you that ye may find17 rest [a resting-place], each of you in the... read more

Ruth A GENTLE HEROINE, A GENTILE CONVERT Rth_1:16 - Rth_1:22 . The lovely idyl of Ruth is in sharp contrast with the bloody and turbulent annals of Judges . It completes, but does not contradict, these, and happily reminds us of what we are apt to forget in reading such pages, that no times are so wild but that in them are quiet corners, green oases, all the greener for their surroundings, where life glides on in peaceful isolation from the tumult. Men and women love and work and weep and... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Ruth 1:15-22

Love’s Steadfast Choice Ruth 1:15-22 This young woman was to be an ancestor of David and in the line of our Lord’s descent. Moabite though she was by birth, Ruth was designated for the high honor of introducing a new strain into the Hebrew race, that was to enrich it and through it the world. Indeed, we may almost detect in her noble and beautiful words some anticipation of the Psalms, which have gone singing down the ages. But how stern is the discipline through which those must pass who... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ruth 1:1-22

The Book of Ruth stands in striking contrast to the Book of Judges and yet is closely connected with it. In Judges the national outlook has been presented and so dark has it been as to create the impression of universal pollution. The story of Ruth illustrates the truth that God has never left Himself without witness. During a time of famine, Elimelech, his wife, and two sons went into the country of Moab to find bread and to escape trouble. It is questionable whether their action was... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Ruth 1:1-17

Ruth and Orpah Ruth 1:1-17 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We have before us today the story of two characters which were alike in many particulars, and yet, so vitally different and distinct in others. 1. The two girls were brought up in the same kind of a home, in the same city, in the same country of Moab. This meant that the two girls journeyed side by side; they had the same general surroundings, and the same countrymen. The atmosphere of the one was the atmosphere of the other. They doubtless... read more

Ruth, the Moabitess Ruth 1:6-18 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. A study in genealogy. In the last chapter of the Book of Ruth beginning with Ruth 1:17 we read that marvelous announcement, "There is a son born to Naomi." This son, of course, was born by Ruth who was wife of Boaz, and the daughter-in-law of Naomi. Now comes a remarkable statement, "and they called his name Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David." Thus it was that when Naomi took the child and laid it to her heart she took... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ruth 1:16-17

‘ And Ruth said, “Do not entreat me to leave you, and to return from following after you, for where you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people will be my people, and your God my God, where you die, I will die, and there will I be buried. YHWH do so to me, and more also (literally ‘and so may He add to do’), if anything but death parts you and me.” Ruth firmly sets aside Naomi’s arguments. She begs Naomi not to entreat her to leave her. Rather she wishes to share in all... read more
