אֲנִי֙ מְלֵאָ֣ה הָלַ֔כְתִּי וְרֵיקָ֖ם הֱשִׁיבַ֣נִי יְהוָ֑ה לָ֣מָּה תִקְרֶ֤אנָה לִי֙ נָעֳמִ֔י וַיהוָ֥ה עָֽנָה־בִ֖י וְשַׁדַּ֥י הֵ֥רַֽע לִֽי׃
ʾaniy mleʾah halaktiy vreyqam heshiybaniy yhvah lamah tiqreʾnah liy naʿomiy vayhvah ʿanah-biy vshaday heraʿ liy
King James Version (KJV)

I went out full, and the LORD hath brought me home again empty: why then call ye me Naomi, seeing the LORD hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me?

Modern English

"I went out full, and Yahweh has brought me home again empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since Yahweh has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me?"
