Ruth 1:11-13

Revised Geneva Translation

¹¹ “Turn back my daughters. Go your way. For I am too old to have a husband. If I should say, ‘I have hope,’ and if I had a husband this night (indeed, and if I had borne sons) would you wait for them until they were of age? Would you be deterred from the taking of husbands, for them?

¹² “No, my daughters. For it grieves me greatly for your sakes that the hand of the LORD has gone out against me.”

¹³ Then they lifted up their voices and wept again, and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law. But Ruth stayed with her.
