Ruth 1:12-14

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 1harderH3966H4843 for me thanH4480 for you, for 2the 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.
