Ruth 1:20-22

International Children’s Bible

²⁰ But Naomi told the people, “Don’t call me Naomi.^[a] Call me Mara,^[b] because God All-Powerful has made my life very sad. ²¹ When I left, I had all I wanted. But now, the Lord has brought me home with nothing. So why should you call me Naomi when the Lord has spoken against me? God All-Powerful has given me much trouble.”

²² So Naomi and her daughter-in-law Ruth, the woman from Moab, came back from Moab. They came to Bethlehem at the beginning of the barley harvest.
