Book of Ruth

"I’ve been told all about what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband—how you left your father and mother and your homeland and came to live with a people you did not know before. May the Lord repay you for what you have done. May you be richly rewarded by the Lord, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge. (NIV)"

"Today you are witnesses that I have bought from Naomi all the property of Elimelek, Kilion and Mahlon. [...] Through the offspring the Lord gives you by this young woman, may your family be like that of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah. (NIV)"

"Perhaps the self-same song that found a path Through the sad heart of Ruth, when, sick for home, She stood in tears amid the alien corn."
