Ruth 1:6-8

Good News Translation

Naomi and Ruth Return to Bethlehem

⁶ Some time later Naomi heard that the Lord had blessed his people by giving them good crops; so she got ready to leave Moab with her daughters-in-law. ⁷ They started out together to go back to Judah, but on the way ⁸ she said to them, “Go back home and stay with your mothers. May the Lord be as good to you as you have been to me and to those who have died.
