Ruth 3:16-18

16 She came to her mother-in-law, who said, "How are you, my daughter?" So Ruth told her everything the man had done for her.

17 She said, "He gave me these six measures of barley, for he said to me, ‘Don't go away empty-handed to your mother-in-law.'"

18 "Sit tight, my daughter," Naomi replied, "until you know how it turns out. The man won't rest until he resolves the matter today."
