Ruth 3:9-12

English Standard Version

⁹ He said, “Who are you?” And she answered, “I am Ruth, your servant. ^(A)Spread your wings^[a] over your servant, for you are ^(B)a redeemer.” ¹⁰ And he said, ^(C)“May you be blessed by the Lord, my daughter. You have made this last kindness greater than ^(D)the first in that you have not gone after young men, whether poor or rich. ¹¹ And now, my daughter, do not fear. I will do for you all that you ask, for all my fellow townsmen know that you are ^(E)a worthy woman. ¹² And now it is true that I am ^(F)a redeemer. Yet there is a redeemer nearer than I.
