Ruth 1:14

Naomi Returns With Ruth

¹³ would ye therefore delay till they were grown? Would ye therefore stay from having husbands? No, my daughters, for it grieves me much for your sakes, for the hand of LORD has gone forth against me. ¹⁴ And they lifted up their voices, and wept again. And Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her. ¹⁵ And she said, Behold, thy sister-in-law has gone back to her people, and to her god. Return thou after thy sister-in-law.
