She replied, “I am Ruth, your servant.
Marry your servant,
for you are a guardian of the family interests.”

by the
Lord, my dear!
This act of devotion
is greater than what you did before.
For you have not sought to marry

I intend to do for you everything you propose,
for everyone in the village
knows that you are a worthy woman.
