Ruth 2:10-13 ▼

10 Casting herself prostrate upon the ground, she said to him, “Why should I, a foreigner, be favored with your attention?”

11 Boaz answered her: “I have had a complete account of what you have done for your mother-in-law after your husband’s death; you have left your father and your mother and the land of your birth, and have come to a people whom previously you did not know.

12 May the LORD reward what you have done! May you receive a full reward from the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come for refuge.”

13 She said, “May I prove worthy of your favor, my lord. You have comforted me. You have spoken to the heart of your servant —and I am not even one of your servants!”
