He said, “You are blessed by the LORD, my daughter.
You have shown more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, because you didn’t follow young men, whether poor or rich.
Now, my daughter, don’t be afraid.
I will do to you all that you say; for all the city of my people knows that you are a worthy woman.
Now it is true that I am a near kinsman.
However, there is a kinsman nearer than I.
