Ruth 1:12-14

13surely you would not want to wait until they were old enough to marry! Surely you would not remain unmarried all that time! No, my daughters, you must not return with me.For my intense suffering is too much for you to bear. For the Lord is afflicting me!”

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