Ruth 1:11-13

Living Bible

¹¹ But Naomi replied, “It is better for you to return to your own people. Do I have younger sons who could grow up to be your husbands?^{[a] 12} No, my daughters, return to your parents’ homes, for I am too old to have a husband. And even if that were possible, and I became pregnant tonight, and bore sons ¹³ would you wait for them to grow up? No, of course not, my daughters; oh, how I grieve for you that the Lord has punished me in a way that injures you.”
