Ruth 3:16-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁶ Ruth came to her mother-in-law. Naomi asked, “How did it go, my daughter?”

Then Ruth told her everything Boaz had done for her. ¹⁷ She said, “He gave me all this barley. He said, ‘Don’t go back to your mother-in-law with your hands empty.’ ”

¹⁸ Naomi said, “My daughter, sit down until you find out what happens. The man won’t rest until he settles the whole matter today.”
