Ruth 1:17-21

21st Century King James Version

¹⁷ Where thou diest will I die, and there will I be buried; the Lord do so to me, and more also, if aught but death part thee and me.”

¹⁸ When she saw that she was steadfastly minded to go with her, then she left off speaking unto her.

¹⁹ So the two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they had come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved concerning them; and they said, “Is this Naomi?”

²⁰ And she said unto them, “Call me not Naomi [that is, Pleasant]. Call me Mara [that is, Bitter], for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me.

²¹ I went out full, and the Lord hath brought me home again empty. Why then call ye me Naomi, seeing the Lord hath testified against me and the Almighty hath afflicted me?”
