Ruth 1:7-15

7So she departedH3318 from the placeH4725 whereH834H8033 she was, and her twoH8147 daughters-in-lawH3618 with her; and they wentH1980 on the wayH1870 to returnH7725 to the landH776 of JudahH3063. 8And NaomiH5281 saidH559 to her twoH8147 daughters-in-lawH3618, “GoH1980, returnH7725 eachH802 of you to her mother’sH517 houseH1004. 1May the LordH3068 dealH6213 kindlyH2617 with you as you have dealtH6213 with the deadH4191 and with me. 9May the LordH3068 grantH5414 that you may findH4672 restH4496, eachH802 in the houseH1004 of her husbandH376.” Then she kissedH5401 them, and they liftedH5375 up their voicesH6963 and weptH1058. 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 2they 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 3harderH3966H4843 for me thanH4480 for you, for 4the 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 5godsH430; returnH7725 afterH310 your sister-in-lawH2994.”
