Ruth 1:21-22

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²¹I went away full,
    but the Lord has brought me back empty;
why call me Naomi
    when the Lord has dealt harshly with^[a] me
    and the Almighty^[b] has brought calamity upon me?”^(A)

²²So Naomi returned together with Ruth the Moabite, her daughter-in-law, who came back with her from the country of Moab. They came to Bethlehem at the beginning of the barley harvest.^(B)
