19 Then they both went until they came to Bethlehem. Now it happened, when they had come to Bethlehem, ^aall the city was stirred because of them, and ¹the women said, “Is this Naomi?” 20 She said to them, “Do not call me ¹Naomi; call me ²Mara, for ³^athe Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me. 21 I went out full, but ^aYahweh has caused me to return empty. Why do you call me Naomi? Yahweh has answered against me, and ¹the Almighty has brought calamity against me.”
22 So Naomi returned, and with her Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, who returned from the fields of Moab. Now they came to Bethlehem at ^athe beginning of barley harvest.
