6. Some time later Naomi heard that the Lord had blessed his people by giving them a good harvest; so she got ready to leave Moab with her daughters-in-law.
7. They started out together to go back to Judah, but on the way
8. she said to them, “Go back home and stay with your mothers. May the Lord be as good to you as you have been to me and to those who have died.
9. And may the Lord make it possible for each of you to marry again and have a home.”So Naomi kissed them goodbye. But they started crying
10. and said to her, “No! We will go with you to your people.”
11. “You must go back, my daughters,” Naomi answered. “Why do you want to come with me? Do you think I could have sons again for you to marry?
12. Go back home, for I am too old to get married again. Even if I thought there was still hope, and so got married tonight and had sons,
13. would you wait until they had grown up? Would this keep you from marrying someone else? No, my daughters, you know that's impossible. The Lord has turned against me, and I feel very sorry for you.”
