Context of Ruth 1:10

8But on the way, Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Go back to your mothers’ homes. And may the Lord reward you for your kindness to your husbands and to me. 9May the Lord bless you with the security of another marriage.” Then she kissed them good-bye, and they all broke down and wept. “No,” they said. “We want to go with you to your people.” 11But Naomi replied, “Why should you go on with me?

And even if it were possible, and I were to get married tonight and bear sons, then what?
