FCS Family Checking Self

Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, "Go, return each of you to her mother's house: Yahweh deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead, and with me.

Naomi said, "Go back, my daughters. Why do you want to go with me? Do I still have sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?

Go back, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say, 'I have hope,' if I should even have a husband tonight, and should also bear sons;

would you then wait until they were grown? Would you then refrain from having husbands? No, my daughters, for it grieves me much for your sakes, for the hand of Yahweh has gone out against me."

She said, "Behold, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people, and to her god. Follow your sister-in-law."

Therefore wash yourself, anoint yourself, get dressed, and go down to the threshing floor, but don't make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking.

Now, my daughter, don't be afraid; I will do to you all that you say; for all the city of my people does know that you are a worthy woman.

Stay this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform for you the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman's part. But if he will not do the part of a kinsman for you, then will I do the part of a kinsman for you, as Yahweh lives. Lie down until the morning."

Then she said, "Sit still, my daughter, until you know how the matter will fall; for the man will not rest, until he has finished the thing this day."

Then Boaz said, "On the day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you must buy it also from Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance."

My son, listen to your father's instruction, and don't forsake your mother's teaching:

My son, if sinners entice you, don't consent.

My son, don't walk in the way with them. Keep your foot from their path,

My son, don't forget my teaching; but let your heart keep my commandments:

for whom Yahweh loves, he reproves; even as a father reproves the son in whom he delights.

My son, let them not depart from your eyes. Keep sound wisdom and discretion:

Don't withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.

Don't say to your neighbor, "Go, and come again; tomorrow I will give it to you," when you have it by you.

Don't devise evil against your neighbor, since he dwells securely by you.

Don't envy the man of violence. Choose none of his ways.

The wise will inherit glory, but shame will be the promotion of fools.

for I give you sound learning. Don't forsake my law.

Get wisdom. Get understanding. Don't forget, neither swerve from the words of my mouth.

Don't forsake her, and she will preserve you. Love her, and she will keep you.

Let them not depart from your eyes. Keep them in the midst of your heart.

Now therefore, my sons, listen to me. Don't depart from the words of my mouth.

and say, "How I have hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;

Drink water out of your own cistern, running water out of your own well.

Should your springs overflow in the streets, streams of water in the public squares?

For why should you, my son, be captivated with an adulteress? Why embrace the bosom of another?

My son, if you have become collateral for your neighbor, if you have struck your hands in pledge for a stranger;

How long will you sleep, sluggard? When will you arise out of your sleep?

When you walk, it will lead you. When you sleep, it will watch over you. When you awake, it will talk with you.

For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is light. Reproofs of instruction are the way of life,

to keep you from the immoral woman, from the flattery of the wayward wife's tongue.

Don't lust after her beauty in your heart, neither let her captivate you with her eyelids.

One who spares the rod hates his son, but one who loves him is careful to discipline him.

His mother and his brothers came, and standing outside, they sent to him, calling him.

You do the works of your father." They said to him, "We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God."

but how he now sees, we don't know; or who opened his eyes, we don't know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself."

But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a bondservant, though he is lord of all;
