Ruth 3:8-10

New International Version

⁸ In the middle of the night something startled the man; he turned—and there was a woman lying at his feet!

⁹ “Who are you?” he asked.

“I am your servant Ruth,” she said. “Spread the corner of your garment^(A) over me, since you are a guardian-redeemer^[a](B) of our family.”

¹⁰ “The Lord bless you,^(C) my daughter,” he replied. “This kindness is greater than that which you showed earlier:^(D) You have not run after the younger men, whether rich or poor.
