Ruth 4:14-16

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁴ And the women said to Noemi: Blessed be the Lord, who hath not suffered thy family to want a successor, that his name should be preserved in Israel.

¹⁵ And thou shouldst have one to comfort thy soul, and cherish thy old age. For he is born of thy daughter in law: who loveth thee: and is much better to thee, than if thou hadst seven sons.

¹⁶ And Noemi taking the child laid it in her bosom, and she carried it, and was a nurse unto it.
