1 Then Naomi her mother in law said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?

<>seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee, <>that it may be well with thee

2 And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor.

<>winnoweth

3 Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the floor: but make not thyself known unto the man, until he shall have done eating and drinking.

<>Wash thyself, <>Wash thyself … and anoint thee, <>anoint thee, <>anoint, <>put thy raiment upon thee, <>the floor

4 And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do.

<>mark, <>uncover … feet, <>he will tell thee what thou shalt do

5 And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will do.

<>All that thou sayest unto me I will do.

6 And she went down unto the floor, and did according to all that her mother in law bade her.

7 And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn: and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her down.

<>his heart was merry, <>corn

8 And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.

<>woman

9 And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman.

<>Who art thou?, <>answered, <>spread … thy skirt over thine handmaid

10 And he said, Blessed be thou of the LORD, my daughter: for thou hast shewed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou followedst not young men, whether poor or rich.

<>thou hast shewed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, <>young men, <>poor, <>rich

11 And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman.

<>fear not, <>all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman, <>the city, <>virtuous woman, <>virtuous

12 And now it is true that I am thy near kinsman: howbeit there is a kinsman nearer than I.

13 Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman's part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, as the LORD liveth: lie down until the morning.

<>Tarry, <>as the LORD liveth, <>the LORD liveth

14 And she lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose up before one could know another. And he said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor.

15 Also he said, Bring the vail that thou hast upon thee, and hold it. And when she held it, he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her: and she went into the city.

<>Bring the vail that thou hast upon thee, <>the city

16 And when she came to her mother in law, she said, Who art thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her.

<>Who art thou, my daughter?

17 And she said, These six measures of barley gave he me; for he said to me, Go not empty unto thy mother in law.

<>Go not empty, <>empty

18 Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day.

<>the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day, <>finished the thing, <>this day
