And Naomi [05281] said [0559], Turn again [07725], my daughters [01323]: why will ye go [03212] with me? are there yet any more sons [01121] in my womb [04578], that they may be your husbands [0582]?
Turn again [07725], my daughters [01323], go [03212] your way; for I am too old [02204] to have an husband [0376]. If I should say [0559], I have [03426] hope [08615], if I should have an husband [0376] also to night [03915], and should also bear [03205] sons [01121];should have…: or were with an husband
Would ye tarry [07663] for them [03860] till they were grown [01431]? would ye stay [05702] for them [03860] from having husbands [0376]? nay, my daughters [01323]; for it grieveth [04843] me much [03966] for your sakes that the hand [03027] of the Lord [03068] is gone out [03318] against me.tarry: Heb. hopeit grieveth…: Heb. I have much bitterness
And Ruth [07327] the Moabitess [04125] said [0559] unto Naomi [05281], Let me now go [03212] to the field [07704], and glean [03950] ears of corn [07641] after [0310] him in whose sight [05869] I shall find [04672] grace [02580]. And she said [0559] unto her, Go [03212], my daughter [01323].
Then said [0559] Boaz [01162] unto Ruth [07327], Hearest [08085] thou not, my daughter [01323]? Go [03212] not to glean [03950] in another [0312] field [07704], neither go [05674] from hence, but abide [01692] here fast by my maidens [05291]:
And Naomi [05281] said [0559] unto Ruth [07327] her daughter in law [03618], It is good [02896], my daughter [01323], that thou go out [03318] with his maidens [05291], that they meet [06293] thee not in any other [0312] field [07704].meet…: or, fall upon thee
Then Naomi [05281] her mother in law [02545] said [0559] unto her, My daughter [01323], shall I not seek [01245] rest [04494] for thee, that it may be well [03190] with thee?
And he said [0559], Blessed [01288] be thou of the Lord [03068], my daughter [01323]: for thou hast shewed [03190] more kindness [02617] in the latter end [0314] than at the beginning [07223], inasmuch as thou followedst [0310] [03212] not [01115] young men [0970], whether poor [01800] or rich [06223].
And now, my daughter [01323], fear [03372] not; I will do [06213] to thee all that thou requirest [0559]: for all the city [08179] of my people [05971] doth know [03045] that thou art a virtuous [02428] woman [0802].city: Heb. gate
And when she came [0935] to her mother in law [02545], she said [0559], Who art thou, my daughter [01323]? And she told [05046] her all that the man [0376] had done [06213] to her.
Then said [0559] she, Sit still [03427], my daughter [01323], until thou know [03045] how the matter [01697] will fall [05307]: for the man [0376] will not be in rest [08252], until [0518] he have finished [03615] the thing [01697] this day [03117].
