Ruth 3:16-18

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁶ She came to her mother-in-law, who said, ‘How did things go with you,^[a] my daughter?’ Then she told her all that the man had done for her, ¹⁷ saying, ‘He gave me these six measures of barley, for he said, “Do not go back to your mother-in-law empty-handed.”’ ¹⁸ She replied, ‘Wait, my daughter, until you learn how the matter turns out, for the man will not rest, but will settle the matter today.’
