And Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Go, return each of you to her mother’s house. May the Lord deal kindly with you as you have dealt with the dead and with me.

She said to them, “Do not call me Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.

Her mother-in-law then said to her, “Where did you glean today and where did you work? May he who took notice of you be blessed.” So she told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked and said, “The name of the man with whom I worked today is Boaz.”

When she came to her mother-in-law, she said, “How did it go, my daughter?” And she told her all that the man had done for her.
