Ruth 1:20-21
1:20 But she replied
to them,
“Don’t call me ‘Naomi’!
Call me ‘Mara’
because the Sovereign One
has treated me very harshly.
1:21 I left here full,
but the
Lord has caused me to return empty-handed.
Why do you call me ‘Naomi,’ seeing that
the
Lord has opposed me,
and the Sovereign One
has caused me to suffer?”
Ruth 1:2
1:2 (Now the man’s name was Elimelech,
his wife was Naomi,
and his two sons were Mahlon and Kilion.
They were of the clan of Ephrath
from Bethlehem in Judah.) They entered the region of Moab and settled there.
