KJV - 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?

I left with plenty, but the Lord brought me back with nothing. Why do you still call me Naomi when the Lord has testified against me and the All-Powerful has caused me pain?
