Ruth 1:7-9

Living Bible

^6-7 She decided to return to Israel with her daughters-in-law, for she had heard that the Lord had blessed his people by giving them good crops again.

⁸ But after they had begun their homeward journey, she changed her mind and said to her two daughters-in-law, “Why don’t you return to your parents’ homes instead of coming with me? And may the Lord reward you for your faithfulness to your husbands and to me. ⁹ And may he bless you with another happy marriage.” Then she kissed them, and they all broke down and cried.
