1:20-21 Naomi correctly recognized that God did not necessarily bring only good situations into one’s life but that he at times brought difficulties (see Jb 1:21; 2:10). Elsewhere in Scripture such difficulties are understood to be for the purpose of testing or discipline (e.g., Pr 3:11-12; Heb 12:7-11), but Naomi has not attained that insight at this stage.
