New King James Version

Ruth 3:5-11 New King James Version (NKJV)

5. And she said to her, “All that you say to me I will do.”

6. So she went down to the threshing floor and did according to all that her mother-in-law instructed her.

7. And after Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was cheerful, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain; and she came softly, uncovered his feet, and lay down.

8. Now it happened at midnight that the man was startled, and turned himself; and there, a woman was lying at his feet.

9. And he said, “Who are you?”So she answered, “I am Ruth, your maidservant. Take your maidservant under your wing, for you are a close relative.”

10. Then he said, “Blessed are you of the Lord, my daughter! For you have shown more kindness at the end than at the beginning, in that you did not go after young men, whether poor or rich.

11. And now, my daughter, do not fear. I will do for you all that you request, for all the people of my town know that you are a virtuous woman.
