For a son dishonors his father,a daughter rises against her mother,and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.A man’s enemies are the membersof his own household.

Boaz replied, “I have been made fully aware of all you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, how you left your father and mother and the land of your birth, and how you came to a people you did not know before.

Then her mother-in-law asked her, “Where did you glean today, and where did you work? Blessed be the man who noticed you.”So she told her mother-in-law where she had worked. “The name of the man I worked with today is Boaz,” she said.

One day Ruth’s mother-in-law Naomi said to her, “My daughter, should I not seek a resting place for you, that it may be well with you?

When Ruth returned to her mother-in-law, Naomi asked her, “How did it go, my daughter?”Then Ruth told her all that Boaz had done for her.
