Ruth 1:11-13

Modern English Version

¹¹ But Naomi said, “Turn back, my daughters. Why would you go with me? Are there sons in my womb, who could become your husbands? ¹² Turn back, my daughters! Go, for I am too old to have a husband. Even if I thought that there was still hope for me, that I could have a husband tonight and give birth to sons, ¹³ would you wait until they were grown? Would you refrain from getting married? No, my daughters. It is much more bitter for me than for you, for the hand of the Lord has turned against me.”
