• 0:16
  Bethlehem after spending ten years away in Moab.
• 0:20
  Naomi says I went out full and the Lord has brought me home
• 0:23
  again, empty. When famine struck Bethlehem,

  Naomi, her husband, and their two sons left home.

  It seems that rather than trust the Lord, they decided to do the

  Though her life seemed empty, she acknowledges the Lord's
