Ruth 3:10-12

Expanded Bible

¹⁰ Then Boaz said, “The Lord bless you, my daughter. This [second; ^Llast] act of kindness is greater than the ·kindness you showed to Naomi in the beginning [^Lfirst]. You didn’t look for a young man to marry, either rich or poor. ¹¹ Now, my daughter, don’t be afraid. I will do everything you ask, because all the people in our town know you are a ·good [worthy; noble] woman [Prov. 31:10]. ¹² It is true that I am a ·relative who is to take care of you [guardian; kinsmen-redeemer; 2:20], but you have a closer relative than I.
