Ruth 2:10-13 ▼

10 At this she fell prostrate, bowing low to the ground, and asked him, |Why is it that you're showing me kindness by noticing me, since I'm a foreigner?|

11 Boaz answered her, |It has been clearly disclosed to me all that you have done for your mother-in-law following the death of your husband—how you abandoned your father, your mother, and your own land, and came to a people you did not previously know.

12 May the LORD repay you for your work, and may a full reward be given you from the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings you have come for refuge.|

13 She responded, |May I continue to find favor in your sight, sir, since you've been comforting me and you have spoken graciously to your servant, even though I am not one of your servants.|
