Ruth 1:19-21

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁹So the two of them went on until they came to Bethlehem. When they came to Bethlehem, the whole town was stirred because of them; and the women said, ‘Is this Naomi?’ ²⁰She said to them,

‘Call me no longer Naomi,^[a]
    call me Mara,^[b]
    for the Almighty^[c] has dealt bitterly with me.
²¹I went away full,
    but the Lord has brought me back empty;
why call me Naomi
    when the Lord has dealt harshly with^[d] me,
    and the Almighty^[e] has brought calamity upon me?’
