Ruth 1:20-22

Modern English Version

²⁰ But she said to them, “Do not call me Naomi. Call me Mara, because the Almighty has brought great bitterness to me. ²¹ I was full when I left, but the Lord has caused me to return empty. Why should you call me Naomi when the Lord has opposed me? The Almighty has brought misfortune upon me!”

²² So Naomi returned from the land of Moab with Ruth the Moabite, her daughter-in-law. They came to Bethlehem at the start of the spring barley harvest.
