Ruth 1:19-21

Modern English Version

¹⁹ So they both went on until they came to Bethlehem. When they came to Bethlehem, the whole town was stirred because of them, and the women asked, “Is this Naomi?”

²⁰ But she said to them, “Do not call me Naomi. Call me Mara, because the Almighty has brought great bitterness to me. ²¹ I was full when I left, but the Lord has caused me to return empty. Why should you call me Naomi when the Lord has opposed me? The Almighty has brought misfortune upon me!”
