*
And Naomi said unto her two daughters in law ,
Go ,
return each to her mother '
s house :
the LORD deal kindly with you ,
as ye have dealt with the dead ,
and with me .
*
The LORD grant you that ye may find rest ,
each of you in the house of her husband .
Then she kissed them ;
and they lifted up their voice ,
and wept .
*
And they said unto her ,
Surely we will return with thee unto thy people .
*
And Naomi said ,
Turn again ,
my daughters :
why will ye go with me ?
are there yet any more sons in my womb ,
that they may be your husbands ?
*
Turn again ,
my daughters ,
go your way ;
for I am too old to have an husband .
If I should say ,
I have hope ,
if I should have an husband also to night ,
and should also bear sons ;
*
Would ye tarry for them till they were grown ?
would ye stay for them from having husbands ?
nay ,
my daughters ;
for it grieveth me much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD is gone out against me .
