Ruth 3:12-14

New International Reader's Version

¹² It’s true that I’m a relative of yours. But there’s a family protector who is more closely related to you than I am. ¹³ So stay here for the night. In the morning if he wants to help you, good. Let him help you. But if he doesn’t want to, then I’ll do it. You can be sure that the Lord lives. And you can be just as sure that I’ll help you. Lie down here until morning.”

¹⁴ So she stayed at his feet until morning. But she got up before anyone could be recognized. Boaz thought, “No one must know that a woman came to the threshing floor.”
