Ruth 4:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ And thou shouldst have one to comfort thy soul, and cherish thy old age. For he is born of thy daughter in law: who loveth thee: and is much better to thee, than if thou hadst seven sons.

¹⁶ And Noemi taking the child laid it in her bosom, and she carried it, and was a nurse unto it.

¹⁷ And the women her neighbours, congratulating with her and saying: There is a son born to Noemi: called his name Obed: he is the father of Isai, the father of David.
