Ruth 2:6-8

New International Reader's Version

⁶ The man replied, “She’s from Moab. She came back from there with Naomi. ⁷ The young woman said, ‘Please let me walk behind the workers. Let me pick up the grain that is left.’ She came into the field. She has kept on working here from morning until now. She took only one short rest in the shade.”

⁸ So Boaz said to Ruth, “Dear woman, listen to me. Don’t pick up grain in any other field. Don’t go anywhere else. Stay here with the women who work for me.
