Now it came to pass in the daysH3117 when the judgesH8199 ruledH8199, that there was a famineH7458 in the landH776. And a certain manH376 of BethlehemjudahH1035+H3063 wentH3212 to sojournH1481 in the countryH7704 of MoabH4124, he, and his wifeH802, and his twoH8147 sonsH1121. {ruled: Heb. judged}
And the nameH8034 of the manH376 was ElimelechH458, and the nameH8034 of his wifeH802 NaomiH5281, and the nameH8034 of his twoH8147 sonsH1121 MahlonH4248 and ChilionH3630, EphrathitesH673 of BethlehemjudahH1035+H3063. And they cameH935 into the countryH7704 of MoabH4124, and continued there. {continued: Heb. were}
And ElimelechH458 Naomi'sH5281 husbandH376 diedH4191; and she was leftH7604, and her twoH8147 sonsH1121.
And they tookH5375 them wivesH802 of the womenH802 of MoabH4125; the nameH8034 of the oneH259 was OrpahH6204, and the nameH8034 of the otherH8145 RuthH7327: and they dwelledH3427 there about tenH6235 yearsH8141.
And MahlonH4248 and ChilionH3630 diedH4191 also bothH8147 of them; and the womanH802 was leftH7604 of her twoH8147 sonsH3206 and her husbandH376.
Then she aroseH6965 with her daughters in lawH3618, that she might returnH7725 from the countryH7704 of MoabH4124: for she had heardH8085 in the countryH7704 of MoabH4124 how that the LORDH3068 had visitedH6485 his peopleH5971 in givingH5414 them breadH3899.
Wherefore she went forthH3318 out of the placeH4725 where she was, and her twoH8147 daughters in lawH3618 with her; and they wentH3212 on the wayH1870 to returnH7725 unto the landH776 of JudahH3063.
And NaomiH5281 saidH559 unto her twoH8147 daughters in lawH3618, GoH3212, returnH7725 eachH802 to her mother'sH517 houseH1004: the LORDH3068 dealH6213 kindlyH2617 with you, as ye have dealtH6213 with the deadH4191, and with me.
The LORDH3068 grantH5414 you that ye may findH4672 restH4496, eachH802 of you in the houseH1004 of her husbandH376. Then she kissedH5401 them; and they lifted upH5375 their voiceH6963, and weptH1058.
And they saidH559 unto her, Surely we will returnH7725 with thee unto thy peopleH5971.
And NaomiH5281 saidH559, Turn againH7725, my daughtersH1323: why will ye goH3212 with me? are there yet any more sonsH1121 in my wombH4578, that they may be your husbandsH582?
Turn againH7725, my daughtersH1323, goH3212 your way; for I am too oldH2204 to have an husbandH376. If I should sayH559, I haveH3426 hopeH8615, if I should have an husbandH376 also to nightH3915, and should also bearH3205 sonsH1121; {should have…: or were with an husband}
Would ye tarryH7663 for themH3860 till they were grownH1431? would ye stayH5702 for themH3860 from having husbandsH376? nay, my daughtersH1323; for it grievethH4843 me muchH3966 for your sakes that the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 is gone outH3318 against me. {tarry: Heb. hope} {it grieveth…: Heb. I have much bitterness}
And they lifted upH5375 their voiceH6963, and wept againH1058: and OrpahH6204 kissedH5401 her mother in lawH2545; but RuthH7327 claveH1692 unto her.
And she saidH559, Behold, thy sister in lawH2994 is gone backH7725 unto her peopleH5971, and unto her godsH430: returnH7725 thou afterH310 thy sister in lawH2994.
And RuthH7327 saidH559, IntreatH6293 me not to leaveH5800 thee, or to returnH7725 from following afterH310 thee: for whither thou goestH3212, I will goH3212; and where thou lodgestH3885, I will lodgeH3885: thy peopleH5971 shall be my peopleH5971, and thy GodH430 my GodH430: {Intreat…: or, Be not against me}
Where thou diestH4191, will I dieH4191, and there will I be buriedH6912: the LORDH3068 doH6213 so to me, and moreH3254 also, if ought but deathH4194 partH6504 thee and me.
When she sawH7200 that she was stedfastly mindedH553 to goH3212 with her, then she leftH2308 speakingH1696 unto her. {was…: Heb. strengthened herself}
So they twoH8147 wentH3212 until they cameH935 to BethlehemH1035. And it came to pass, when they were comeH935 to BethlehemH1035, that all the cityH5892 was movedH1949 about them, and they saidH559, Is this NaomiH5281?
And she saidH559 unto them, CallH7121 me not NaomiH5281, callH7121 me MaraH4755: for the AlmightyH7706 hath dealt veryH3966 bitterlyH4843 with me. {Naomi: that is, Pleasant} {Mara: that is, Bitter}
I went outH1980 fullH4392, and the LORDH3068 hath brought me home againH7725 emptyH7387: why then callH7121 ye me NaomiH5281, seeing the LORDH3068 hath testifiedH6030 against me, and the AlmightyH7706 hath afflictedH7489 me?
So NaomiH5281 returnedH7725, and RuthH7327 the MoabitessH4125, her daughter in lawH3618, with her, which returnedH7725 out of the countryH7704 of MoabH4124: and they cameH935 to BethlehemH1035 in the beginningH8462 of barleyH8184 harvestH7105.

And his concubineH6370 played the whoreH2181 against him, and went awayH3212 from him unto her father'sH1 houseH1004 to BethlehemjudahH1035+H3063, and was there fourH702 whole monthsH2320+H3117. {four whole months: or, a year and four month: Heb. days, four months}

And the LORDH3068 answeredH559, It is for SaulH7586, and for his bloodyH1818 houseH1004, because he slewH4191 the GibeonitesH1393. {enquired…: Heb. sought the face, etc}
And ElijahH452 the TishbiteH8664, who was of the inhabitantsH8453 of GileadH1568, saidH559 unto AhabH256, As the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 livethH2416, beforeH6440 whom I standH5975, there shall not be dewH2919 nor rainH4306 these yearsH8141, but accordingH6310 to my wordH1697. {Elijah: Heb. Elijahu: Gr. Elias}
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto him, sayingH559,
GetH3212 thee hence, and turnH6437 thee eastwardH6924, and hideH5641 thyself by the brookH5158 CherithH3747, that is beforeH6440 JordanH3383.
And it shall be, that thou shalt drinkH8354 of the brookH5158; and I have commandedH6680 the ravensH6158 to feedH3557 thee there.
So he wentH3212 and didH6213 according unto the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068: for he wentH3212 and dweltH3427 by the brookH5158 CherithH3747, that is beforeH6440 JordanH3383.
And the ravensH6158 broughtH935 him breadH3899 and fleshH1320 in the morningH1242, and breadH3899 and fleshH1320 in the eveningH6153; and he drankH8354 of the brookH5158.
And it came to pass afterH7093 a whileH3117, that the brookH5158 dried upH3001, because there had been no rainH1653 in the landH776. {after…: Heb. at the end of days}
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto him, sayingH559,
AriseH6965, getH3212 thee to ZarephathH6886, which belongeth to ZidonH6721, and dwellH3427 there: behold, I have commandedH6680 a widowH490 womanH802 there to sustainH3557 thee. {Zarephath: Gr. Sarepta}
So he aroseH6965 and wentH3212 to ZarephathH6886. And when he cameH935 to the gateH6607 of the cityH5892, behold, the widowH490 womanH802 was there gatheringH7197 of sticksH6086: and he calledH7121 to her, and saidH559, FetchH3947 me, I pray thee, a littleH4592 waterH4325 in a vesselH3627, that I may drinkH8354.
And as she was goingH3212 to fetchH3947 it, he calledH7121 to her, and saidH559, BringH3947 me, I pray thee, a morselH6595 of breadH3899 in thine handH3027.
And she saidH559, As the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 livethH2416, I haveH3426 not a cakeH4580, but an handfulH4393+H3709 of mealH7058 in a barrelH3537, and a littleH4592 oilH8081 in a cruseH6835: and, behold, I am gatheringH7197 twoH8147 sticksH6086, that I may go inH935 and dressH6213 it for me and my sonH1121, that we may eatH398 it, and dieH4191.
And ElijahH452 wentH3212 to shewH7200 himself unto AhabH256. And there was a soreH2389 famineH7458 in SamariaH8111.
Then spakeH1696 ElishaH477 unto the womanH802, whose sonH1121 he had restored to lifeH2421, sayingH559, AriseH6965, and goH3212 thou and thine householdH1004, and sojournH1481 wheresoeverH834 thou canst sojournH1481: for the LORDH3068 hath calledH7121 for a famineH7458; and it shall also comeH935 upon the landH776 sevenH7651 yearsH8141.
And the womanH802 aroseH6965, and didH6213 after the sayingH1697 of the manH376 of GodH430: and she wentH3212 with her householdH1004, and sojournedH1481 in the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430 sevenH7651 yearsH8141.
Moreover he calledH7121 for a famineH7458 upon the landH776: he brakeH7665 the whole staffH4294 of breadH3899.

The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 that came to JeremiahH3414 concerningH1697 the dearthH1226. {the dearth: Heb. the words of the dearths, or, restraints}
SonH1121 of manH120, when the landH776 sinnethH2398 against me by trespassingH4603 grievouslyH4604, then will I stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 upon it, and will breakH7665 the staffH4294 of the breadH3899 thereof, and will sendH7971 famineH7458 upon it, and will cut offH3772 manH120 and beastH929 from it:
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; How much more when I sendH7971 my fourH702 soreH7451 judgmentsH8201 upon JerusalemH3389, the swordH2719, and the famineH7458, and the noisomeH7451 beastH2416, and the pestilenceH1698, to cut offH3772 from it manH120 and beastH929? {How…: or, Also when}
The fieldH7704 is wastedH7703, the landH127 mournethH56; for the cornH1715 is wastedH7703: the new wineH8492 is dried upH3001, the oilH3323 languishethH535.
Be ye ashamedH3001, O ye husbandmenH406; howlH3213, O ye vinedressersH3755, for the wheatH2406 and for the barleyH8184; because the harvestH7105 of the fieldH7704 is perishedH6.
Is not the meatH400 cut offH3772 before our eyesH5869, yea, joyH8057 and gladnessH1524 from the houseH1004 of our GodH430?
The seedH6507 is rottenH5685 under their clodsH4053, the garnersH214 are laid desolateH8074, the barnsH4460 are broken downH2040; for the cornH1715 is witheredH3001. {seed: Heb. grains}
How do the beastsH929 groanH584! the herdsH5739 of cattleH1241 are perplexedH943, because they have no pastureH4829; yea, the flocksH5739 of sheepH6629 are made desolateH816.
O LORDH3068, to thee will I cryH7121: for the fireH784 hath devouredH398 the pasturesH4999 of the wildernessH4057, and the flameH3852 hath burnedH3857 all the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704. {pastures: or, habitations}
The beastsH929 of the fieldH7704 cryH6165 also unto thee: for the riversH650 of watersH4325 are dried upH3001, and the fireH784 hath devouredH398 the pasturesH4999 of the wildernessH4057.
