Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.

Wo du stirbst, da sterbe ich auch, da will ich auch begraben werden. Der HERR tue mir dies und das, der Tod muß mich und dich scheiden.
Donde tú murieres, moriré yo, y allí seré sepultada: así me haga Jehová, y así me dé, que sólo la muerte hará separación entre mí y ti.
Donde mueras, moriré yo, y allí seré sepultada. Así me haga Jehová, y aun más, si algo que no sea la muerte nos separa».
où tu mourras je mourrai, et j'y serai enterrée. Que l'Eternel me traite dans toute sa rigueur, si autre chose que la mort vient à me séparer de toi!
Dove tu morrai, morrò anch’io, e quivi sarò seppellita. Così mi faccia il Signore, e così mi aggiunga, se altro che la morte fa la separazione fra me a te.
Onde quer que morreres morrerei eu, e ali serei sepultada. Faça-me assim o SENHOR, e outro tanto, se outra coisa que não seja a morte me separar de ti.
你死在哪裏, 我也死在哪裏,葬在哪裏。 只有死能使你我分離; 不然,願耶和華重重懲罰我!」
