- And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the _________ of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehemjudah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there.
- And _________ Naomi's husband died; and she was left, and her two sons.
- And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the _________ Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten years.
- And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman was left of her two sons and her _________.
- Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how _________ the LORD had visited his people in giving them bread.
- Wherefore she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters in law with her; and they went on the way to _________ unto the land of Judah.
- And Naomi said unto her two daughters in law, Go, return each to her mother's house: the LORD _________ kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me.
| - The LORD grant you that ye may find rest, each of you in the _________ of her husband. Then she kissed them; and they lifted up their voice, and wept.
- And they said unto her, Surely we will return with thee unto thy _________.
- And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go _________ me? are there yet any more sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?
- Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to _________ an husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should have an husband also to night, and should also bear sons;
- Would ye tarry for them _________ 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 the LORD is gone out against me.
- And they _________ up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her.
- And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods: return thou _________ thy sister in law.
| - And Ruth said, Intreat me not to _________ thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:
- _________ thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.
- When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, then she left _________ unto her.
- So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about _________, and they said, Is this Naomi?
- And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the _________ hath dealt very bitterly with me.
- I went out full and the LORD hath brought me home again empty: why then call ye me Naomi, seeing the LORD hath testified _________ me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me?
- So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter in law, with her, which returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to Bethlehem in the _________ of barley harvest.
