Ruth 1:19-22
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

“Call me no longer Naomi,[a]
call me Mara,[b]

21 I went away full,
but the Lord has brought me back empty;

when the Lord has dealt harshly with[d] me,
and the Almighty[e] has brought calamity upon me?”
22 So Naomi returned together with Ruth the Moabite, her daughter-in-law, who came back with her from the country of Moab. They came to Bethlehem at the beginning of the barley harvest.
