Ruth 1:20
Naomi - Which signifies pleasant, and chearful. Mara - Which signifies bitter or sorrowful.
18 aWhen she saw that she1 was determined to go with her, she stopped speaking to her.
19 Now the two of them went until they came to Bethlehem. And it happened, when they had come to Bethlehem, that aall the city was excited because of them; and the women said, b“Is this Naomi?”
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.
