Ruth 1:19-21
1599 Geneva Bible
19 So they went both until they came to Bethlehem: and when they were come to Bethlehem, it was [a]noised of them through all the city, and they said, Is not this Naomi?
20 And she answered them, Call me not [b]Naomi, but call me [c]Mara: for the Almighty hath given me much bitterness.
21 I went out full, and the Lord hath caused me to return empty: why call ye me Naomi, seeing the Lord hath humbled me, and the Almighty hath brought me unto adversity?
