1So Naomi, her mother-in-law, was like, "Yo, my daughter, I gotta help you find some chill so your life can be lit."

2And now, isn’t Boaz from our fam? You were vibing with his crew, right? He’s out here grinding on the barley tonight at the threshing floor.

3So freshen up, put on some drip, and head down to the floor; just don’t let him know you’re there until he’s done munching and sipping.

4When he lays down, peep where he’s at, then creep in, uncover his feet, and lay down next to him; he’ll hit you up with what’s next.

5She was like, "Bet, I’ll do whatever you say."

6So she went down to the floor and followed all her mother-in-law’s instructions, no cap.

7After Boaz had eaten and felt good, he lay down at the edge of the grain pile; she snuck in, uncovered his feet, and got cozy.

8Then, at midnight, the dude got spooked and turned around, and boom, there was a woman chilling at his feet.

9He was like, "Who are you?" And she replied, "I’m Ruth, your girl. Spread your skirt over me, since you’re family."

10And he said, "You’re blessed by the Lord, my daughter, for you’ve shown way more kindness now than before. You didn’t go for the young bucks, whether they were broke or ballin’."

11"So now, my daughter, don’t sweat it; I’ll do everything you need. Everyone in the city knows you’re a total queen."

12"It’s true I’m your fam, but there’s someone closer than me."

13"Chill here tonight, and in the morning, if he’s down to do his part as family, cool; let him handle that. But if not, I got you, as the Lord lives; just stay put till morning."

14She stayed at his feet until morning, getting up before anyone noticed. He said, "Don’t let it be known a woman came to the floor."

15He was like, "Grab your shawl and hold it out." When she did, he filled it with six measures of barley and gave it to her, and she headed back to the city.

16When she got back to her mother-in-law, she was like, "Who are you, my daughter?" And Ruth told her everything that went down.

17Ruth said, "He gave me these six measures of barley and said, ‘Don’t head back to your mother-in-law empty-handed.’"

18Then Naomi said, "Just chill, my daughter, until you see how this plays out; the man won’t rest until he sorts this out today."

1Then Naomi her mother in law said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?

2And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor.

3Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the floor: but make not thyself known unto the man, until he shall have done eating and drinking.

4And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do.

5And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will do.

6And she went down unto the floor, and did according to all that her mother in law bade her.

7And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn: and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her down.

8And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.

9And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman.

10And he said, Blessed be thou of the Lord, my daughter: for thou hast shewed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou followedst not young men, whether poor or rich.

11And 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.

12And now it is true that I am thy near kinsman: howbeit there is a kinsman nearer than I.

13Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman’s part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, as the Lord liveth: lie down until the morning.

14And she lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose up before one could know another. And he said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor.

15Also he said, Bring the vail that thou hast upon thee, and hold it. And when she held it, he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her: and she went into the city.

16And when she came to her mother in law, she said, Who art thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her.

17And she said, These six measures of barley gave he me; for he said to me, Go not empty unto thy mother in law.

18Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day.
