And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath born him.

Verse 15 is found in chapter 4 of Ruth.

The valuation of Ruth retrospectively confirms that her faithfulness was essential to Naomi’s restoration.

Der wir dich erquicken und dein Alter versorgen. Denn deine Schwiegertochter, die dich geliebt hat, hat ihn geboren, welche dir besser ist als sieben Söhne.
El cual será restaurador de tu alma, y el que sustentará tu vejez; pues que tu nuera, la cual te ama y te vale más que siete hijos, le ha parido.
Él te devolverá la vida y te sustentará en tu vejez, porque lo ha dado a luz tu nuera, que te ama y que vale para ti más que siete hijos».
Cet enfant restaurera ton âme, et sera le soutien de ta vieillesse; car ta belle-fille, qui t'aime, l'a enfanté, elle qui vaut mieux pour toi que sept fils.
E siati esso per ristorarti l’anima, e per sostentar la tua vecchiezza; conciossiachè la tua nuora, la qual ti ama, e ti val meglio che sette figliuoli, abbia partorito questo fanciullo.
Ele te será por restaurador da alma, e nutrirá a tua velhice, pois tua nora, que te ama, o deu à luz, e ela te é melhor do que sete filhos.
他必振奮你的精神,奉養你的晚年,因為他是愛慕你的媳婦所生的。有這樣的媳婦,比有七個兒子更好!」
