And he said, Who are thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thy handmaid. Spread therefore thy skirt over thy handmaid, for thou are a near kinsman. And he said, Blessed be thou of LORD, my daughter. Thou have shown more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou did not follow young men, whether poor or rich. And now, my daughter, fear not. I will do to thee all that thou say, for all the city of my people knows that thou are a worthy woman. And now it is TRUE that I am a near kinsman. However there is a kinsman nearer than I.

But if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, then I will do the part of a kinsman
