Context — The Return to Bethlehem
19So Naomi and Ruth traveled until they came to Bethlehem. When they entered Bethlehem, the whole town was stirred because of them, and the women of the town exclaimed, “Can this be Naomi?”
20“Do not call me Naomi, ” she replied. “Call me Mara, because the Almighty has dealt quite bitterly with me.
21I went away full, but the LORD has brought me back empty. Why call me Naomi? After all, the LORD has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me.”
22So Naomi returned from the land of Moab with her daughter-in-law Ruth the Moabitess. And they arrived in Bethlehem at the beginning of the barley harvest.Cross References

Ruth 1:21 Summary
[Naomi is saying that when she left Bethlehem, she had a full life with a husband and two sons, but now she's back with nothing, and she's acknowledging that God is in control of her life. This shows that God is sovereign, even in hard times, as we see in Jeremiah 29:11. Naomi is also showing that she trusts God, even when things don't make sense, and that's something we can learn from. We can trust God to be with us, even in the tough times, just like He was with Naomi, as promised in Matthew 28:20.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Naomi mean by 'I went away full, but the LORD has brought me back empty'?
Naomi is expressing the contrast between her life when she left Bethlehem with her husband and two sons, and her return as a widow with only one daughter-in-law, illustrating the theme of God's sovereignty in our lives, as seen in Jeremiah 29:11 and Romans 8:28.
Why does Naomi ask to be called Mara instead of Naomi?
Naomi asks to be called Mara, which means 'bitter', because she feels that the Almighty has dealt bitterly with her, as stated in Ruth 1:20, reflecting her emotional and spiritual state, similar to Job's expressions of sorrow in Job 10:1.
What does Naomi mean by 'the LORD has testified against me'?
Naomi is acknowledging that God has allowed her to experience affliction and hardship, which she believes is a form of testimony against her, perhaps due to her own sins or the sins of her family, as seen in Deuteronomy 28:15-68, where God warns of consequences for disobedience.
How can we apply Naomi's experience to our own lives?
We can learn from Naomi's example to trust in God's sovereignty, even in the midst of hardship and uncertainty, and to acknowledge His presence and purpose in our lives, as encouraged in Psalm 23:4 and Isaiah 43:2.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I feel 'empty' or lacking, and how can I trust God to fill them?
- How do I respond to difficult circumstances, and what can I learn from Naomi's example of acknowledging God's sovereignty?
- In what ways can I, like Naomi, acknowledge God's testimony against me, and seek to repent and turn to Him?
- What does it mean for me to 'call' on God's name, as Naomi does, and to acknowledge His presence and purpose in my life?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ruth 1:21
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? The Almighty , [ Shaday (H7706)].
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ruth 1:21
Full; with my husband and sons, and a plentiful estate for our support. Hath testified against me, i.e. hath borne witness, as it were, in judgment, and given sentence against me, and declared my sin by my punishment.
Trapp's Commentary on Ruth 1:21
Rth 1:21 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?Ver. 21. I went out full.] Not for want, but for fear of want. This she now regretteth, as done out of distrust. God’ s voice is, "Dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed." Home again empty.] By weeping cross. They that go out of God’ s precincts, go out of his protection: Jehoshaphat’ s ships were broken; Lot lost all; Josiah came short home. Hath testified against me.] As a witness of my sin, and of his just displeasure; - see Job 10:17; Job 16:8; - a metaphor from adversaries at law. Hath afflicted me.] Howbeit, Quos amat, hos non vult, spero, perire Deus.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Ruth 1:21
Verse 21. I went out full] Having a husband and two sons. The Lord hath brought me home again empty] Having lost all three by death. It is also likely that Elimelech took considerable property with him into the land of Moab; for as he fled from the face of the famine, he would naturally take his property with him; and on this Naomi subsisted till her return to Bethlehem, which she might not have thought of till all was spent.
Cambridge Bible on Ruth 1:21
21. hath testified against me] i. e. hath marked His displeasure by the misfortunes which have overtaken me; for the idiom cf. Numbers 35:30, 1 Samuel 12:3. The Targ. characteristically moralizes: it was on account of Naomi’s sin (in migrating to a heathen country). The LXX. and Vulg., pronouncing the verb differently, render hath humbled me, but against the Hebr. construction. Underlying the words is the conviction, so deeply rooted in the Hebrew mind, that all must go well with the righteous and that misfortune was a sign of Jehovah’s wrath.
Barnes' Notes on Ruth 1:21
The Lord hath testified against me - The phrase is very commonly applied to a man who gives witness concerning (usually against) another in a court of justice Exodus 20:16; 2 Samuel 1:16; Isaiah 3:9.
Whedon's Commentary on Ruth 1:21
21. I went out full — That is, in the rich possession of a husband and two sons. Home again empty — Bereft of my most precious treasures, so that the cause of my pleasantness is gone.
