New King James Version
Ruth 1:10-15
10And they said to her, “Surely we will return with you to your people.”
11But Naomi said, “Turn back, my daughters; why will you go with me? Are there still sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?
12Turn back, my daughters, go—for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say I have hope, if I should have a husband tonight and should also bear sons,
13would you wait for them till they were grown? Would you restrain yourselves from having husbands? No, my daughters; for it grieves me very much for your sakes that the hand of the Lord has gone out against me!”
14Then they lifted up their voices and wept again; and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her.
15And she said, “Look, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods; return after your sister-in-law.”
