'Things' in the Bible

Now Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, "My daughter, should I not seek for you security that [things] may be good for you?

and she returned to her mother-in-law.When Ruth returned to her mother-in-law, Naomi asked, "How did things turn out for you, my daughter?" Ruth told her about all the man had done for her.

Naomi said, “My daughter, wait until you find out how things go, for he won’t rest unless he resolves this today.”

Now this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour: and this was a testimony in Israel.
