Black background graphic with an engraved portrait of Ludwig Lavater (1527–1586), Swiss Reformed theologian. Left side shows his name, dates, and The Book of Ruth. Right side displays a quotation urging believers to commend needy, godly people to the wealthy for help when they cannot assist themselves.

Ludwig Lavater, Swiss #Reformed, notes in Ruth that if you can’t help the needy yourself, you should pester someone who can. Commending the poor to the rich isn’t meddling; it’s duty. If that’s “advocacy,” Scripture seems untroubled by the label.

This post from the ASLWrite Facebook group on ASLWrite Book of Ruth breaks my heart. You see those three comments? They answered OP's questions. Now that info is gone because FB nuked the responder's account (I will complain about this to my dying day)
