Verse 20 is found in chapter 1 of Ruth. Naomi asks that she no longer be called by her former name, but Mara, because she interprets her experience as bitter. Her statement shows how pain has affected her perception of identity. The text preserves this personal interpretation without making it the final conclusion of the story, since later events will reveal a different reality.
Meditate on this verse and share your reflection or spiritual experience with the community. Your comments will enrich everyone's learning.
