       Ruth 1:10-13 King James Version (KJV)
       10 And they said unto her, Surely we will return with thee unto
       thy people.
       11 And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with
       me? are there yet any more sons in my womb, that they may be
       your husbands?
       12 Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to
       have an husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should have
       an husband also to night, and should also bear sons;
       13 Would ye tarry for them till they were grown? would ye stay
       for them from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it
       grieveth me much for your sakes that the hand of theLORD is gone
       out against me.
       Ruth 1:10-13 New Life Version (NLV)
       10 They said to her, “No, we will return with you to your
       people.” 11 But Naomi said, “Return to your people, my
       daughters. Why should you go with me? Do I have more sons within
       me, who could become your husbands? 12 Return, my daughters. Go.
       For I am too old to have a husband. If I had hope, if I should
       have a husband tonight and give birth to sons, 13 would you wait
       until they were grown? Would you not marry until then? No, my
       daughters. It is harder for me than for you. For the hand of the
       Lord is against me.”

       These are my thoughts, please share yours.
       10 They both wanted to stay with her and go to her people.
       Sometimes we get used to the people around us that it is hard to
       leave them.
       11-13 It was practice in Israel for the widows to marry the next
       of kin who in most cases was a brother of those that died but
       Naomi only had two sons and was now a widow herself. To wait for
       her to give them new husbands was a silly idea. Naomi thought
       the Lord was against her why she thought this is not stated here
       but it may very well be because of what had happened to her.
