Ruth 2:19-23

English Standard Version

¹⁹ And her mother-in-law said to her, “Where did you glean today? And where have you worked? Blessed be the man ^(A)who took notice of you.” So she told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked and said, “The man's name with whom I worked today is Boaz.” ²⁰ And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, ^(B)“May he be blessed by the Lord, whose kindness has not forsaken ^(C)the living or the dead!” Naomi also said to her, “The man is a close relative of ours, one of ^(D)our redeemers.” ²¹ And Ruth the Moabite said, “Besides, he said to me, ‘You shall keep close by my young men until they have finished all my harvest.’” ²² And Naomi said to Ruth, her daughter-in-law, “It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his young women, lest in another field you be assaulted.” ²³ So she kept close to the young women of Boaz, gleaning until the end of the barley and wheat harvests. And she lived with her mother-in-law.
