Ruth 1:10-12

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁰ But Naomi said, “Turn back my daughters. For what reason would you go with me? Are there any more sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?

¹¹ “Turn back my daughters. Go your way. For I am too old to have a husband. If I should say, ‘I have hope,’ and if I had a husband this night (indeed, and if I had borne sons) would you wait for them until they were of age? Would you be deterred from the taking of husbands, for them?

¹² “No, my daughters. For it grieves me greatly for your sakes that the hand of the LORD has gone out against me.”
