Arriving in Bethlehem (1:19b–22a)

1 19bWhen they entered Bethlehem the whole town was abuzz over them. The [women of the town] said, “Isn’t this Naomi?!” 20But she said to them,

“Do not call me ‘Kindness of YHWH’ [Naomi]

Call me ‘Bitterness’ [Mara]

For Shaddai has made me very bitter.

21I left full,

YHWH made me return empty.

Why should you call me ‘Kindness of YHWH’ [Naomi]?

YHWH has testified against me,

Shaddai has brought disaster upon me.”

22aSo Naomi returned. Now Ruth the Moabite, her daughter-in-law, was under her authority, the one who returned from the territory of Moab.
