And Boaz said vnto her, At the meale time come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dippe thy morsell in the vineger. And she sate beside the reapers, and hee reached her parched corne: and shee did eate, and was sufficed, and left thereof.
Ruth 2:12 The Lord recompense thy worke, and a ful reward be giuen thee of the Lord God of Israel, vnder whose wings thou art come to trust.
Ruth 2:13 Then she saide, Let me finde fauour in thy sight, my lord: for thou hast comforted mee, and spoken comfortably vnto thy mayde, though I be not like to one of thy maydes.
Ruth 2:14 And Boaz said vnto her, At the meale time come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dippe thy morsell in the vineger. And she sate beside the reapers, and hee reached her parched corne: and shee did eate, and was sufficed, and left thereof.
Ruth 2:15 And when she arose to gleane, Boaz commanded his seruants, saying, Let her gather among the sheaues, and doe not rebuke her.
Ruth 2:16 Also let fall some of the sheaues for her, and let it lie, that she may gather it vp, and rebuke her not.
The verse centers on "boaz", "said", "vnto", "meale", "time", "come", "thou", and "hither". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "boaz" and "said", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 13's "Then she saide Let me finde fauour..." into verse 15's "And when she arose to gleane Boaz...", so "boaz" and "said" belong inside that flow. In Ruth context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "boaz" and "said" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
