Ruth 3:12-14
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
12 But now, though it is true that I am a near kinsman, there is another kinsman more closely related than I. 13 Remain this night, and in the morning, if he will act as next-of-kin[a] for you, good; let him do so. If he is not willing to act as next-of-kin[b] for you, then, as the Lord lives, I will act as next-of-kin[c] for you. Lie down until the morning.’
14 So she lay at his feet until morning, but got up before one person could recognize another; for he said, ‘It must not be known that the woman came to the threshing-floor.’
