Study Lenses
The verse centers on "saide", "vnto", "surely", "returne", "thee", and "people". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "saide" and "vnto", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 9's "The Lord graunt you that you may..." into verse 11's "But Naomi saide Turne againe my daughters...", so "saide" and "vnto" belong inside that flow. In Ruth context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "saide" and "vnto" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
