Ruth 1:14

Naomi Returns With Ruth

¹³ would you wait for them until they were grown? Will you shut yourselves up, not to have a husband? No, my daughters, for it makes me very sad for your sakes that the hand of Jehovah has gone out against me. ¹⁴ And they lifted up their voice and wept again. And Orpah kissed her mother-in-law. But Ruth clung to her. ¹⁵ And she said, Behold, Your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods. Return after your sister-in-law.
