Ruth 1:12-14
International Standard Version

12 So go on back, my daughters! Be on your way! I’m too old to remarry.[a] If I were to say that I’m hoping for a husband tonight and then also bore sons this very night,[b] 13 would you wait for them until they were grown? Would you refrain from marriage for them? No, my daughters! I’m more deeply grieved than you, because[c] the Lord is working against me!”
