Ruth 1:10-15

10They said to her, “We insist on returning with you to your people.”

11But Naomi replied, “Return home, my daughters. Why do you want to go with me? Am I able to have any more sons who could become your husbands?

12Return home, my daughters. Go on, for I am too old to have another husband. Even if I thought there was still hope for me to have a husband tonight and to bear sons,

13would you be willing to wait for them to grow up? Would you restrain yourselves from remarrying? No, my daughters, my life is much too bitter for you to share, because the Lord’s hand has turned against me.”

14Again they wept loudly, and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her.

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