Ruth 3:8-10

New International Reader's Version

⁸ In the middle of the night, something surprised Boaz and woke him up. He turned and found a woman lying there at his feet!

⁹ “Who are you?” he asked.

“I’m Ruth,” she said. “You are my family protector. So take good care of me by making me your wife.”

¹⁰ “Dear woman, may the Lord bless you,” he replied. “You are showing even more kindness now than you did earlier. You didn’t run after the younger men, whether they were rich or poor.
