    3 And Elimelech, Naomi's husband, came to his end; and only her two sons were with her.

    4 And they took two women of Moab as their wives: the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth; and they went on living there for about ten years.

    5 And Mahlon and Chilion came to their end; and the woman was without her two sons and her husband.

    6 So she and her daughters-in-law got ready to go back from the country of Moab, for news had come to her in the country of Moab that the Lord, in mercy for his people, had given them food.

    7 And she went out of the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her; and they went on their way to go back to the land of Judah.

    8 And Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, Go back to your mothers' houses: may the Lord be good to you as you have been good to the dead and to me:

    9 May the Lord give you rest in the houses of your husbands. Then she gave them a kiss; and they were weeping bitterly.

    10 And they said to her, No, but we will go back with you to your people.

    11 But Naomi said, Go back, my daughters; why will you come with me? Have I more sons in my body, to become your husbands?

    12 Go back, my daughters, and go on your way; I am so old now that I may not have another husband. If I said, I have hopes, if I had a husband tonight, and might have sons,

    13 Would you keep yourselves till they were old enough? would you keep from having husbands for them? No, my daughters; but I am very sad for you that the hand of the Lord is against me.
