Ruth 2:8–13

⁸Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens: ⁹Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn. ¹⁰Then she ^ffell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger? ¹¹And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been shewed me, ^gall that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since the death of thine husband: and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore. ^12hThe Lord recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the Lord God of Israel, ⁱunder whose wings thou art come to trust. ¹³Then she said, ^||kLet me find favour in thy sight, my lord; for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken ^†friendly unto thine handmaid, ^lthough I be not like unto one of thine handmaidens.
