14 The light will come to him some day, and then he will repay for all your heartaches, griefs and tears.
15 And Ruth, you must not think that you are free from blame.
16 If you had walked in wisdom’s ways, and been content to hold your peace, this grief would not have come to you.
17 It takes a long, long time for light to break into the shell of prejudice, and patience is the lesson you have need to learn.
18 The constant dropping of the water wears away the hardest stone.
19 The sweet and holy incense of a godly life will melt intolerance much quicker than the hottest flame, or hardest blow.
20 Just wait a little time, and then go home with sympathy and love. Talk not of Christ, nor of the kingdom of the Holy One.
21 Just live a godly life; refrain from harshness in your speech, and you will lead your husband to the light.
22 And it was so.
