Ruth 1:9 in Context — Ruth 1

7 Elle sortit du lieu qu’elle habitait, accompagnée de ses deux belles-filles, et elle se mit en route pour retourner dans le pays de Juda.

8 Naomi dit alors à ses deux belles-filles: Allez, retournez chacune à la maison de sa mère! Que l’Éternel use de bonté envers vous, comme vous l’avez fait envers ceux qui sont morts et envers moi!

9 Que l’Éternel vous fasse trouver à chacune du repos dans la maison d’un mari! Et elle les baisa. Elles élevèrent la voix, et pleurèrent;

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?
