Ruth 1:19-22

19SoH8147 Naomi and Ruth traveledH1980 untilH5704 they cameH935 toH1035 BethlehemH1035. When theyH1961 enteredH935 BethlehemH1035, the wholeH3605 townH5892 was stirredH1949 because of themH5921, and the women of the town exclaimedH559, “Can thisH2063 be NaomiH5281?”

20“Do notH408 callH7121 me NaomiH5281,1” she repliedH559H413. “CallH7121 me MaraH4755,2 becauseH3588 the AlmightyH77063 has dealt quite bitterlyH4843H3966 with me. 21IH589 went awayH1980 fullH4392, but the LORDH3068 has brought me backH7725 emptyH7387. WhyH4100 callH7121 me NaomiH5281? After all, the LORDH3068 has testifiedH6030 against me, and the AlmightyH7706 has afflictedH7489 me.”

22So NaomiH5281 returnedH7725 from the landH7704 of MoabH4124 withH5973H7725 her daughter-in-lawH3618 RuthH7327 the MoabitessH4125. And theyH1992 arrivedH935 in BethlehemH1035 at the beginningH8462 of the barleyH8184 harvestH7105.
