Ruth 2:12-23

CAB(i) 12 The Lord recompense your work; may a full reward be given you of the Lord God of Israel, to whom you have come to trust under His wings. 13 And she said, Let me find grace in your sight, my lord, because you have comforted me, and because you have spoken kindly to your maidservant, and behold, I shall be as one of your servants. 14 And Boaz said to her, Now it is time to eat; come here, and you shall eat of the bread, and you shall dip your morsel in the vinegar. And Ruth sat by the side of the reapers; and Boaz handed her meal, and she ate, and was satisfied, and left. 15 And she rose up to glean; and Boaz charged his young men, saying, Let her even glean among the sheaves, and reproach her not. 16 And by all means carry it for her, and you shall surely let fall for her some of that which is heaped up; and let her eat, and glean, and rebuke her not. 17 So she gleaned in the field till evening, and beat out that she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barely. 18 And she took it up, and went into the city. And her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned, and Ruth brought forth and gave to her the food which she had left from what she had been satisfied with. 19 And her mother-in-law said to her, Where have you gleaned today, and where have you worked? Blessed be he that took notice of you. And Ruth told her mother-in-law where she had worked, and said, The name of the man with whom I worked today is Boaz. 20 And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, Blessed is he of the Lord, because He has not failed in His mercy with the living and the dead. And Naomi said to her, This man is our relative, and is one of our relations. 21 And Ruth said to her mother-in-law, Yes, he also said to me, Keep close to my young women, until the men shall have finished all my reaping. 22 And Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, It is well, daughter, that you went out with his young women; thus they shall not meet you in another field. 23 And Ruth joined herself to the young women of Boaz, to glean until they had finished the barley harvest and the wheat harvest.
