Ruth 1:13 in Context — Ruth 1
11 E Noemi respondeu: Voltai, filhas minhas; para que ireis comigo? Tenho eu mais filhos no ventre, que possam ser vossos maridos?
12 Voltai, filhas minhas, e ide; que eu já sou velha para ser para me casar com homem. E ainda que dissesse: Tenho esperança; e esta noite me casasse com um homem, e ainda desse à luz filhos;
13 Teríeis vós de esperá-los até que fossem grandes? Ficaríeis vós sem se casar por causa deles? Não, filhas minhas; que maior amargura tenho eu que vós, pois a mão do SENHOR saiu contra mim.
14 Mas elas levantando outra vez sua voz, choraram: e Orfa beijou à sua sogra, mas Rute se ficou com ela.
15 E Noemi disse: Eis que tua cunhada se voltou a seu povo e a seus deuses; volta-te atrás dela.
