Ruth 1:11-13
International Standard Version
11 But Naomi responded, “Go back, my daughters. Why go with me? Are there still sons to be born to me[a] as future husbands for you? 12 So go on back, my daughters! Be on your way! I’m too old to remarry.[b] If I were to say that I’m hoping for a husband tonight and then also bore sons this very night,[c] 13 would you wait for them until they were grown? Would you refrain from marriage for them? No, my daughters! I’m more deeply grieved than you, because[d] the Lord is working against me!”

Ruth 1:11-13
New International Version
11 But Naomi said, “Return home, my daughters. Why would you come with me? Am I going to have any more sons, who could become your husbands?(A) 12 Return home, my daughters; I am too old to have another husband. Even if I thought there was still hope for me—even if I had a husband tonight and then gave birth to sons— 13 would you wait until they grew up?(B) Would you remain unmarried for them? No, my daughters. It is more bitter(C) for me than for you, because the Lord’s hand has turned against me!(D)”
