Ruth 1:20-21

20 She said to them, “Do not call me Naomi; ^{▼▼ Naomi means pleasant} call me ^bMara, ^{▼▼ Mara means bitter} for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me. 21 ^dI went away full, and the Lord has brought me back empty. Why call me Naomi, when the Lord has testified against me and the Almighty has brought calamity upon me?”
