Ruth 1:19-22

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁹ Then they both went until they came to Bethlehem. Now it happened, when they had come to Bethlehem, ^(A)all the city was stirred because of them, and ^[a]the women said, “Is this Naomi?” ²⁰ She said to them, “Do not call me ^[b]Naomi; call me ^[c]Mara, for ^[d](B)the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me. ²¹ I went out full, but ^(C)Yahweh has caused me to return empty. Why do you call me Naomi? Yahweh has answered against me, and ^[e]the Almighty has brought calamity against me.”

²² So Naomi returned, and with her Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, who returned from the fields of Moab. Now they came to Bethlehem at ^(D)the beginning of barley harvest.
