10And they said vnto her, Surely wee will returne with thee, vnto thy people. 11And Naomi said, Turne againe, my daughters: why will you goe with mee? Are there yet any moe sonnes in my wombe, that they may be your husbands? 12Turne againe, my daughters, go your way, for I am too old to haue an husband: if I should say, I haue hope, if I should haue a husband also to night, and should also beare sonnes: 13Would ye tary for them till they were growen? would ye stay for them from hauing husbands? nay my daughters: for it grieueth me much for your sakes, that the hand of the Lord is gone out against me. 14And they lift vp their voyce, and wept againe: and Orpah kissed her mother in law, but Ruth claue vnto her.
