Ruth 1:13

הֲלָהֵ֣ן תְּשַׂבֵּ֗רְנָה עַ֚ד אֲשֶׁ֣ר יִגְדָּ֔לוּ הֲלָהֵן֙ תֵּֽעָגֵ֔נָה לְבִלְתִּ֖י הֱי֣וֹת לְאִ֑ישׁ אַ֣ל בְּנֹתַ֔י כִּי־מַר־לִ֥י מְאֹ֖ד מִכֶּ֑ם כִּֽי־יָצְאָ֥ה בִי֖ יַד־יְהוָֽה׃
halahen tshabernah ʿad ʾasher yigdalv halahen teʿagenah lbiltiy heyvot lʾiysh ʾal bnotay kiy-mar-liy mʾod mikem kiy-yaṣʾah biy yad-yhvah
King James Version (KJV)

Would ye tarry for them till they were grown? would ye stay for them from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieveth me much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD is gone out against me.

Modern English

"would you wait for them until they were grown? Would you refrain from having husbands for their sake? No, my daughters, for it is more bitter for me than for you, for the hand of Yahweh has gone out against me."
