Ruth 2:10-12

Good News Translation

¹⁰ Ruth bowed down with her face touching the ground, and said to Boaz, “Why should you be so concerned about me? Why should you be so kind to a foreigner?”

¹¹ Boaz answered, “I have heard about everything that you have done for your mother-in-law since your husband died. I know how you left your father and mother and your own country and how you came to live among a people you had never known before. ¹² May the Lord reward you for what you have done. May you have a full reward from the Lord God of Israel, to whom you have come for protection!”
