Ruth 3:9

---

← Ruth 3:8	Ruth 3:9 (KJV)	Ruth 3:10 →
And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.	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.	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.
