10 Ruth immediately bowed down to the ground and said to him, |Why are you so helpful? Why are you paying attention to me? I'm only a foreigner.| 11 Boaz answered her, |People have told me about everything you have done for your mother-in-law after your husband died. They told me how you left your father and mother and the country where you were born. They also told me how you came to people that you didn't know before. 12 May the LORD reward you for what you have done! May you receive a rich reward from the LORD God of Israel, under whose protection you have come for shelter.| 13 Ruth replied, |Sir, may your kindness to me continue. You have comforted me and reassured me, and I'm not even one of your own servants.| Ruth 2:10-13, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
