¹⁹ So the two women went on until they came to Bethlehem.^(A) When they arrived in Bethlehem, the whole town was stirred^(B) because of them, and the women exclaimed, “Can this be Naomi?”

²⁰ “Don’t call me Naomi,^[a]” she told them. “Call me Mara,^[b] because the Almighty^[c](C) has made my life very bitter.^{(D) 21} I went away full, but the Lord has brought me back empty.^(E) Why call me Naomi? The Lord has afflicted^[d] me;^(F) the Almighty has brought misfortune upon me.”
