Ruth 3:7-11

New King James Version

⁷ And after Boaz had eaten and drunk, and ^(A)his heart was cheerful, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain; and she came softly, uncovered his feet, and lay down.

⁸ Now it happened at midnight that the man was startled, and turned himself; and there, a woman was lying at his feet. ⁹ And he said, “Who are you?”

So she answered, “I am Ruth, your maidservant. ^(B)Take^[a] your maidservant under your wing, for you are ^(C)a ^[b]close relative.”

¹⁰ Then he said, ^(D)“Blessed are you of the Lord, my daughter! For you have shown more kindness at the end than ^(E)at the beginning, in that you did not go after young men, whether poor or rich. ¹¹ And now, my daughter, do not fear. I will do for you all that you request, for all the people of my town know that you are a ^(F)virtuous woman.
