20 But she said to them, “Do not call me1 Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.
21 I went out full, aand the Lord has brought me home again empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since the Lord has testified against me, and1 the Almighty has afflicted me?”
22 So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess her daughter-in-law with her, who returned from the country of Moab. Now they came to Bethlehem aat the beginning of barley harvest.
