Ruth 1:21 in Context — Ruth 1
19 Elles firent ensemble le voyage jusqu’à leur arrivée à Bethléhem. Et lorsqu’elles entrèrent dans Bethléhem, toute la ville fut émue à cause d’elles, et les femmes disaient: Est-ce là Naomi?
20 Elle leur dit: Ne m’appelez pas Naomi; appelez-moi Mara, car le Tout-Puissant m’a remplie d’amertume.
21 J’étais dans l’abondance à mon départ, et l’Éternel me ramène les mains vides. Pourquoi m’appelleriez-vous Naomi, après que l’Éternel s’est prononcé contre moi, et que le Tout-Puissant m’a affligée?
22 Ainsi revinrent du pays de Moab Naomi et sa belle-fille, Ruth la Moabite. Elles arrivèrent à Bethléhem au commencement de la moisson des orges.
