Ruth 2:8-12

Legacy Standard Bible

⁸ Then Boaz said to Ruth, “Have you not heard, my daughter? Do not go to glean in another field; furthermore, do not go on from this one, but ^[a]stay here with my young women. ⁹ Let your eyes be on the field which they reap, and go after them. Indeed, I have commanded the young men not to touch you. And if you are thirsty, go to the ^[b]water jars and drink from what the young men draw.” ¹⁰ Then she ^(A)fell on her face, bowing to the ground and said to him, “Why have I found favor in your sight that you should take notice of me, though I am a foreigner?” ¹¹ Boaz replied to her, “All that you have done for your mother-in-law after the death of your husband has been fully told to me, and how you forsook your father and your mother and the land of your birth, and came to a people that you did not previously know. ^12 (B)May Yahweh fully repay your work, and may your wages be full from Yahweh, the God of Israel, ^(C)under whose wings you have come to seek refuge.”
