Ruth 1:10-15

10And they saidH559 to her, “No, but we will surelyH3588 returnH7725 with you to your peopleH5971.” 11But NaomiH5281 saidH559, “ReturnH7725, my daughtersH1323. WhyH4100 should you goH1980 with me? Have I yetH5750 sonsH1121 in my wombH4578, that 1they may be your husbandsH376? 12ReturnH7725, my daughtersH1323! GoH1980, for I amH2204 tooH4480 oldH2204 to haveH1961 a husbandH376. IfH3588 I saidH559 I haveH3426 hopeH8615, if I should evenH1571 haveH1961 a husbandH376 tonightH3915 and alsoH1571 bearH3205 sonsH1121, 13would you thereforeH3860 waitH7663 untilH5704H834 they were grownH1431? Would you thereforeH3860 refrainH5702 from marryingH1166H1961H376? NoH408, my daughtersH1323; for it is 2harderH3966H4843 for me thanH4480 for you, for 3the handH3027 of the LordH3068 has goneH3318 forthH3318 against me.” 14And they liftedH5375 up their voicesH6963 and weptH1058 againH5750; and OrpahH6204 kissedH5401 her mother-in-lawH2545, but RuthH7327 clungH1692 to her.

15Then she saidH559, “BeholdH2009, your sister-in-lawH2994 has goneH7725 backH7725 to her peopleH5971 and her 4godsH430; returnH7725 afterH310 your sister-in-lawH2994.”
