Ruth 1:10-15

10And they said to her, “No, we will go with you to your people [in Judah].”

11But Naomi said, “Go back, my daughters, why should you go with me? Do I still have sons in my womb that may become your husbands?

12Go back, my daughters, go, for I am too old to have a husband. If I said I have hope, and if I actually had a husband tonight and even gave birth to sons,

13would you wait until they were grown? Would you go without marrying? No, my daughters; for it is much more difficult for me than for you, because the Lord’s hand has gone against me.”

14Then they wept aloud again; and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law [goodbye], but Ruth clung to her.

15Then Naomi said, “Look, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods; turn back and follow your sister-in-law.”
