Ruth 3:10-12

Contemporary English Version

¹⁰ Boaz replied:

The Lord bless you! This shows how truly loyal you are to your family. You could have looked for a younger man, either rich or poor, but you didn't. ¹¹ Don't worry, I'll do what you have asked. You are respected by everyone in town.

^12 (A) It's true that I am one of the relatives who is supposed to take care of you, but there is someone who is an even closer relative.
