+  <chapter no='1'>
+    <verse no='1'>Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that  there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehemjudah  went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two  sons.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his  wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion,  Ephrathites of Bethlehemjudah. And they came into the country of Moab,  and continued there.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And Elimelech Naomi's husband died; and she was left, and  her two sons.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of  the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelled  there about ten years.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman  was left of her two sons and her husband.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might  return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of  Moab how that the LORD had visited his people in giving them bread.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Wherefore she went forth out of the place where she was, and  her two daughters in law with her; and they went on the way to return  unto the land of Judah.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And Naomi said unto her two daughters in law, Go, return  each to her mother's house: the LORD deal kindly with you, as ye have  dealt with the dead, and with me.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>The LORD grant you that ye may find rest, each of you in the  house of her husband. Then she kissed them; and they lifted up their  voice, and wept.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And they said unto her, Surely we will return with thee unto  thy people.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go  with me? are there yet any more sons in my womb, that they may be your  husbands?</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to  have an husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should have an  husband also to night, and should also bear sons;</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Would ye tarry for them till they were grown? would ye stay  for them from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieveth me  much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD is gone out against me.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah  kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto  her people, and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister in law.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return  from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where  thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God  my God:</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried:  the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and  me.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her,  then she left speaking unto her.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came  to pass, when they were come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved  about them, and they said, Is this Naomi?</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for  the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>I went out full and the LORD hath brought me home again  empty: why then call ye me Naomi, seeing the LORD hath testified  against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me?</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter in  law, with her, which returned out of the country of Moab: and they came  to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='2'>
+    <verse no='1'>And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of  wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the  field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find  grace. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the  reapers: and her hap was to light on a part of the field belonging unto  Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And, behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said unto the  reapers, The LORD be with you. And they answered him, The LORD bless  thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the  reapers, Whose damsel is this?</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and  said, It is the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi out of the  country of Moab:</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the  reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from  the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go  not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here  fast by my maidens:</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go  thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not  touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink  of that which the young men have drawn.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground,  and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou  shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger?</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been  shewed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since the  death of thine husband: and how thou hast left thy father and thy  mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which  thou knewest not heretofore.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given  thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to  trust.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Then she said, Let me find favour in thy sight, my lord; for  that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken friendly  unto thine handmaid, though I be not like unto one of thine  handmaidens.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And Boaz said unto her, At mealtime come thou hither, and  eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside  the reapers: and he reached her parched corn, and she did eat, and was  sufficed, and left.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young  men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her  not:</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her,  and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>So she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out that  she had gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And she took it up, and went into the city: and her mother  in law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth, and gave to her  that she had reserved after she was sufficed.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And her mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned  to day? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be he that did take  knowledge of thee. And she shewed her mother in law with whom she had  wrought, and said, The man's name with whom I wrought to day is Boaz.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And Naomi said unto her daughter in law, Blessed be he of  the LORD, who hath not left off his kindness to the living and to the  dead. And Naomi said unto her, The man is near of kin unto us, one of  our next kinsmen.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And Ruth the Moabitess said, He said unto me also, Thou  shalt keep fast by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter in law, It is good, my  daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, that they meet thee not in  any other field.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to glean unto the  end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and dwelt with her mother  in law.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='3'>
+    <verse no='1'>Then Naomi her mother in law said unto her, My daughter,  shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou  wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>Wash 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.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And 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.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will  do.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And she went down unto the floor, and did according to all  that her mother in law bade her.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And 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.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid,  and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And 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.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And 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.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And 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.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And now it is true that I am thy near kinsman: howbeit there  is a kinsman nearer than I.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Tarry 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.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And 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.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>Also 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.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And 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.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And she said, These six measures of barley gave he me; for  he said to me, Go not empty unto thy mother in law.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>Then 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.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='4'>
+    <verse no='1'>Then went Boaz up to the gate, and sat him down there: and,  behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho,  such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat  down.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit  ye down here. And they sat down.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And he said unto the kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out  of the country of Moab, selleth a parcel of land, which was our brother  Elimelech's:</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And I thought to advertise thee, saying, Buy it before the  inhabitants, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem  it, redeem it: but if thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me, that I may  know: for there is none to redeem it beside thee; and I am after thee.  And he said, I will redeem it.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand  of Naomi, thou must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the  dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I  mar mine own inheritance: redeem thou my right to thyself; for I cannot  redeem it.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Now this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning  redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all things; a man  plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour: and this was a  testimony in Israel.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he  drew off his shoe.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all the people, Ye  are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's,  and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I  purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his  inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his  brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders,  said, We are witnesses. The LORD make the woman that is come into thine  house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of  Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Bethlehem:</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar  bare unto Judah, of the seed which the LORD shall give thee of this  young woman.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in  unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bare a son.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be the LORD, which  hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be  famous in Israel.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life, and a  nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee,  which is better to thee than seven sons, hath born him.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and  became nurse unto it.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And the women her neighbours gave it a name, saying, There  is a son born to Naomi; and they called his name Obed: he is the father  of Jesse, the father of David.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>Now these are the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat  Hezron,</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.</verse>

+    <verse no='9'>What is thy beloved more than another beloved, O thou  fairest among women? what is thy beloved more than another beloved,  that thou dost so charge us?</verse>

+    <verse no='16'>His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This  is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='6'>
+    <verse no='1'>Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women?  whither is thy beloved turned aside? that we may seek him with thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds of  spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth among  the lilies.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Thou art beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, comely as  Jerusalem, terrible as an army with banners.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me: thy  hair is as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>Thy teeth are as a flock of sheep which go up from the  washing, whereof every one beareth twins, and there is not one barren  among them.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>As a piece of a pomegranate are thy temples within thy  locks.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, and  virgins without number.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>My dove, my undefiled is but one; she is the only one of her  mother, she is the choice one of her that bare her. The daughters saw  her, and blessed her; yea, the queens and the concubines, and they  praised her.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the  moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners?</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the  valley, and to see whether the vine flourished and the pomegranates  budded.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Or ever I was aware, my soul made me like the chariots of  Amminadib.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Return, return, O Shulamite; return, return, that we may  look upon thee. What will ye see in the Shulamite? As it were the  company of two armies.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='7'>
+    <verse no='1'>How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince's daughter!  the joints of thy thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a  cunning workman.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor:  thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; thine eyes like the  fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim: thy nose is as the  tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine  head like purple; the king is held in the galleries.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to  clusters of grapes.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of  the boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the  vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples;</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved,  that goeth down sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep to  speak.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us  lodge in the villages.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine  flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud  forth: there will I give thee my loves.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are all manner  of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my  beloved.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='8'>
+    <verse no='1'>O that thou wert as my brother, that sucked the breasts of  my mother! when I should find thee without, I would kiss thee; yea, I  should not be despised.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>I would lead thee, and bring thee into my mother's house,  who would instruct me: I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine of  the juice of my pomegranate.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand  should embrace me.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up,  nor awake my love, until he please.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon  her beloved? I raised thee up under the apple tree: there thy mother  brought thee forth: there she brought thee forth that bare thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm:  for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals  thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown  it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it  would utterly be contemned.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts: what shall  we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>If she be a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver:  and if she be a door, we will inclose her with boards of cedar.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>I am a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his  eyes as one that found favour.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>Solomon had a vineyard at Baalhamon; he let out the vineyard  unto keepers; every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand  pieces of silver.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>My vineyard, which is mine, is before me: thou, O Solomon,  must have a thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof two  hundred.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken to  thy voice: cause me to hear it.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe or to a  young hart upon the mountains of spices.</verse>
