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

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

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