Ruth 1:12 in Context — Ruth 1
10 et elles lui dirent: Non, nous irons avec toi vers ton peuple.
11 Naomi, dit: Retournez, mes filles! Pourquoi viendriez-vous avec moi? Ai-je encore dans mon sein des fils qui puissent devenir vos maris?
12 Retournez, mes filles, allez! Je suis trop vieille pour me remarier. Et quand je dirais: J’ai de l’espérance; quand cette nuit même je serais avec un mari, et que j’enfanterais des fils,
13 attendriez-vous pour cela qu’ils eussent grandi, refuseriez-vous pour cela de vous marier? Non, mes filles! Car à cause de vous je suis dans une grande affliction de ce que la main de l’Éternel s’est étendue contre moi.
14 Et elles élevèrent la voix, et pleurèrent encore. Orpa baisa sa belle-mère, mais Ruth s’attacha à elle.
