Ruth 2:5-8 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

5. Boaz spoke to the man who was in charge of his workers. He asked, "Who is that young woman?"

6. The man replied, "She's from Moab. She came back from there with Naomi.

7. She said, 'Please let me walk behind the workers. Let me pick up the grain that is left.' Then she went into the field. She has kept on working there from morning until now. She took only one short rest in the shade."

8. So Boaz said to Ruth, "Dear woman, listen to me. Don't pick up grain in any other field. Don't go anywhere else. Stay here with my female servants.
