Ruth 1:4-15

Ruth 1:4-15

[4] And they took  them wives  of Moab;  the name  of the one  was Orpah,  and the name  of the other  Ruth:  and they dwelled  there about ten  years.  [5] And Mahlon  and Chilion  died  also both  of them; and the woman  was left  of her two  sons  and her husband.  [6] Then she arose  with her daughters in law,  that she might return  from the country  of Moab:  for she had heard  in the country  of Moab  had visited  his people  in giving  them bread.  [7] Wherefore she went forth  out of the place  where she was, and her two  daughters in law  on the way  to return  unto the land  of Judah.  [8] And Naomi  said  unto her two  daughters in law,  return  each  to her mother's  house:  the LORD  deal  kindly  with you, as ye have dealt  with the dead,  and with me. [9] The LORD  grant  you that ye may find  rest,  each  of you in the house  of her husband.  Then she kissed  them; and they lifted up  their voice,  and wept.  [10] And they said  unto her, Surely we will return  with thee unto thy people.  [11] And Naomi  said,  Turn again,  my daughters:  with me? are there yet any more sons  in my womb,  [12] Turn again,  my daughters,  your way; for I am too old  to have an husband.  If I should say,  I have  hope,  if I should have an husband  also to night,  and should also bear  sons;  [13] Would ye tarry  for them  till they were grown?  would ye stay  for them  from having husbands?  nay, my daughters;  for it grieveth  me much  for your sakes that the hand  of the LORD  is gone out  against me. [14] And they lifted up  their voice,  and wept again:  and Orpah  kissed  her mother in law;  but Ruth  clave  unto her. [15] And she said,  Behold, thy sister in law  is gone back  unto her people,  and unto her gods:  return  thou after  thy sister in law.
