Ruth 3:9-11

Easy-to-Read Version

⁹ Boaz said, “Who are you?”

She said, “I am Ruth, your servant girl. Spread your cover over me.^[a] You are my protector.”

¹⁰ Then Boaz said, “May the Lord bless you, young woman. You have been very kind to me. Your kindness to me is greater than the kindness you showed to Naomi in the beginning. You could have looked for a young man to marry, rich or poor. But you did not. ¹¹ Now, young woman, don’t be afraid. I will do what you ask. All the people in our town know that you are a very good woman.
