16 And Ruth went in to her mother-in-law, and she said to her, daughter! and told her all that the man had done to her.

17 And she said to her, He gave me these six measures of barley, for he said to me, Go not empty to thy mother-in-law.

18 And she said, Sit still, daughter, until thou shalt know how the matter will fall out; for the man will not rest until the matter be accomplished this day.
