Ruth 1:10-15

10And they said to her, Surely we will return with thee to thy people. 11And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? are there yet any more sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands? 12Turn again, my daughters, go your way ; for I am too old to have an husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should have an husband also to night, and should also bear sons;1 13Would ye wait for them till they should be grown? would ye restrain yourselves from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieveth me much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD hast gone out against me.23 14And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clung to her. 15And she said, Behold, thy sister in law hath gone back to her people, and to her gods: return thou after thy sister in law.
