And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me.
Ella les dijo: 'Ya no me llamen Noemí. Llámenme Mara, porque Dios ha hecho muy amarga mi vida.'
Noemí cambió su nombre a Mara para reflejar la amargura que sentía por las pérdidas que había sufrido.
