Ruth 2:11-13

Good News Translation

¹¹ Boaz answered, “I have heard about everything that you have done for your mother-in-law since your husband died. I know how you left your father and mother and your own country and how you came to live among a people you had never known before. ¹² May the Lord reward you for what you have done. May you have a full reward from the Lord God of Israel, to whom you have come for protection!”

¹³ Ruth answered, “You are very kind^[a] to me, sir. You have made me feel better by speaking gently to me, even though I am not the equal of one of your servants.”
