Ruth 1:12-14

Modern English Version

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.”

¹⁴ Then they raised their voices and wept aloud once more. Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her.
