Ruth 2:16-18

Contemporary English Version

¹⁶ Be sure to pull out some stalks of grain from the bundles and leave them on the ground for her. And don't speak harshly to her!”

¹⁷ Ruth worked in the field until evening. Then after she had pounded the grain off the stalks, she had a large basket full of grain. ¹⁸ She took the grain to town and showed Naomi how much she had picked up. Ruth also gave her the food left over from her lunch.
