Charles Ellicott Commentary Ruth 1:11

"And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? have I yet sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?" — Ruth 1:11 (ASV)

Naomi's advice so far is insufficient to shake the affectionate resolve of the two women. She then paints the loneliness of her lot. She has no more sons and can hope for none; indeed, even if sons were to be born to her now, what good would that do them?

Still, her lot is worse than theirs. They, in spite of their great loss, are young, and from their mothers’ houses they may again go forth to homes of their own. She, old, childless, and solitary, must make her weary way back to live unaided as best she can.
