20 And she said to them, “Do not call me Naomi; call me Mara, for Shaddai has dealt exceedingly bitterly with me.

21 I went out full, and YHWH has brought me back empty. Why do you? call me Naomi, since YHWH has testified against me, and Shaddai has afflicted me?”

22 And Naomi turned back, and Ruth the Moabitess her daughter-in-law with her, who turned back from the fields of Moab. And they came to Bethlehem at the beginning of the barley harvest.
