Ruth 3:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
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.
12 And now, it is true that I am thy kinsman, howbeit there is a kinsman nearer than I.
13 Tarry tonight, and when morning is come, if he [a]will do the duty of a kinsman unto thee, well, let him do the kinsman’s duty: but if he will not do the kinsman’s part, then will I do the duty of a kinsman, as the Lord liveth: sleep until the morning.

Ruth 3:11-13
New International Version
11 And now, my daughter, don’t be afraid. I will do for you all you ask. All the people of my town know that you are a woman of noble character.(A) 12 Although it is true that I am a guardian-redeemer of our family,(B) there is another who is more closely related than(C) I. 13 Stay here for the night, and in the morning if he wants to do his duty as your guardian-redeemer,(D) good; let him redeem you. But if he is not willing, as surely as the Lord lives(E) I will do it.(F) Lie here until morning.”
