Ruth 3:11-13

Contemporary English Version

¹¹ Don't worry, I'll do what you have asked. You are respected by everyone in town.

^12 (A) It's true that I am one of the relatives who is supposed to take care of you, but there is someone who is an even closer relative. ¹³ Stay here until morning, then I will find out if he is willing to look after you. If he isn't, I promise by the living God to do it myself. Now go back to sleep until morning.
