Ruth 3:10-12

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁰ He said, “May you be blessed by the Lord, my daughter; this last instance of your loyalty is better than the first; you have not gone after young men, whether poor or rich. ¹¹ And now, my daughter, do not be afraid, I will do for you all that you ask, for all the assembly of my people know that you are a worthy woman.^{(A) 12} But now, though it is true that I am a near kinsman, there is another kinsman more closely related than I.^(B)
