Ruth 1:12-14

Tree of Life Version

¹² Go home, my daughters! I am too old to have a husband. Even if I were to say that there was hope for me and I could get married tonight, and then bore sons, ¹³ would you wait for them to grow up? Would you therefore hold off getting married? No, my daughters, it is more bitter for me than for you—for the hand of Adonai has gone out against me!”

¹⁴ Again they broke into loud weeping. Then Orpah kissed her mother-in-law goodbye. But Ruth clung to her.
