Ruth 1:11-13 ▼

11 Naomi replied, “Go back, my daughters. Why come with me? Have I other sons in my womb who could become your husbands?

12 Go, my daughters, for I am too old to marry again. Even if I had any such hope, or if tonight I had a husband and were to bear sons,

13 would you wait for them and deprive yourselves of husbands until those sons grew up? No, my daughters, my lot is too bitter for you, because the LORD has extended his hand against me.”
