Ruth 3:16-18

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁶ When Ruth returned, her mother-in-law Naomi asked, “How did things go, my daughter?”

Ruth told Naomi everything the man had done for her. ¹⁷ She said, “He gave me these six measures of barley and told me not to come back to you empty-handed.”

¹⁸ Naomi replied, “Stay here, my daughter, until you know how it turns out. The man won’t rest unless he settles this matter today.”
