Ruth 1:19-21

New King James Version

¹⁹ Now the two of them went until they came to Bethlehem. And it happened, when they had come to Bethlehem, that ^(A)all the city was excited because of them; and the women said, ^(B)“Is this Naomi?”

²⁰ But she said to them, “Do not call me ^[a]Naomi; call me ^[b]Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me. ²¹ I went out full, ^(C)and the Lord has brought me home again empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since the Lord has testified against me, and ^[c]the Almighty has afflicted me?”
