Wesley's Notes

3:14 Let it not, and c. - He takes care to preserve not only his conscience towards God, but his reputation, and hers also, among men.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

3:14-18 Ruth had done all that was fit for her to do, she must patiently wait the event. Boaz, having undertaken this matter, would be sure to manage it well. Much more reason have true believers to cast their care on God, because he has promised to care for them. Our strength is to sit still, Isa 30:7. This narrative may encourage us to lay ourselves by faith at the feet of Christ: He is our near Kinsman; having taken our nature upon him. He has the right to redeem. Let us seek to receive from him his directions: Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? Ac 9:6. He will never blame us as doing this unseasonably. And let us earnestly desire and seek the same rest for our children and friends, that it may be well with them also.


Romans 14:16 Therefore do not let what is for you a good thing be spoken of as evil;
2 Corinthians 8:21 for we have regard for what is honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men. (NASB ©1995)
