Ruth 1:19-22

19So they bothH8147 wentH1980 untilH5704 they cameH935 to BethlehemH1035. And when they had comeH935 to BethlehemH1035, 1allH3605 the cityH5892 was stirredH1949 becauseH5921 of them, and 2the women saidH559, “Is thisH2088 NaomiH5281?” 20She saidH559 to them, “Do not callH7121 me 3NaomiH5281; callH7121 me 4MaraH4755, for 56the AlmightyH7706 has dealtH4843 veryH3966 bitterlyH4843 with me. 21I wentH1980 out fullH4392, but 7the LordH3068 has broughtH7725 me backH7725 emptyH7387. WhyH4100 do you callH7121 me NaomiH5281, since the LordH3068 has witnessedH6030 against me and 8the AlmightyH7706 has afflictedH7489 me?”

22So NaomiH5281 returnedH7725, and with her RuthH7327 the MoabitessH4125, her daughter-in-lawH3618, who returnedH7725 from the landH7704 of MoabH4124. And they cameH935 to BethlehemH1035 at 9the beginningH8462 of barleyH8184 harvestH7105.
