Ruth 1:21
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 4:13-14
A Grandson is Born to Naomi
4:13 So Boaz married Ruth and had sexual relations with her. The Lord enabled her to conceive and she gave birth to a son.
4:14 The village women said to Naomi, “May the Lord be praised because he has not left you without a guardian today! May he become famous in Israel!
Ruth 1:13
1:13 surely you would not want to wait until they were old enough to marry!
Surely you would not remain unmarried all that time!
No,
my daughters, you must not return with me.
For my intense suffering
is too much for you to bear.
For the
Lord is afflicting me!”
