Ruth 1:20

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me.

For the arrows of the Almighty are within me; my spirit drinks their poison; God's sudden terrors are arrayed against me.

know then that God has wronged me and encircled me with his net.

I suffer all day long, and am punished every morning."

I am oppressed and have been on the verge of death since my youth. I have been subjected to your horrors and am numb with pain.

I cry out until morning; like a lion he shatters all my bones; you turn day into night and end my life.

(Alef) I am the man who has experienced affliction from the rod of his wrath.

Now all discipline seems painful at the time, not joyful. But later it produces the fruit of peace and righteousness for those trained by it.
