Ruth 1:11-13

11But Naomi replied, “Why should you go on with me? Can I still give birth to other sons who could grow up to be your husbands?

12No, my daughters, return to your parents’ homes, for I am too old to marry again. And even if it were possible, and I were to get married tonight and bear sons, then what?

13Would you wait for them to grow up and refuse to marry someone else? No, of course not, my daughters! Things are far more bitter for me than for you, because the Lord himself has raised his fist against me.”
