Compare all
19 And her mother-in-law said to her, “Where have you gleaned today? And where did you work? Blessed be the one who atook notice of you.” So she told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, and said, “The man’s name with whom I worked today is Boaz.”  
20 Then Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, a“Blessed be he of the Lord, who bhas not forsaken His kindness to the living and the dead!” And Naomi said to her, “This man is a relation of ours, cone of our close relatives.”  
21 Ruth the Moabitess said, “He also said to me, ‘You shall stay close by my young men until they have finished all my harvest.’ ”
22 And Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, “It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his young women, and that people do not1 meet you in any other field.”  
23 So she stayed close by the young women of Boaz, to glean until the end of barley harvest and wheat harvest; and she dwelt with her mother-in-law.

Ruth 2:21

Harvest - Both barley - harvest, and wheat - harvest. She tells what kindness Boaz had shewed her; but not, how he had commended her. Humility teaches not only not to praise ourselves, but not to be forward in repeating the praise which others have given us.
