What's-His-Name
"I could've had Elimelech's land,
If not for Ruth the Moabitess' hand.
Elimelech's land has much potential,
But taking a flawed wife was essential.
With the land, I would come out ahead.
With Ruth, I'd ruin my future instead.
So, I let Boaz redeem both of them.
I'm happy to pass this burden to him."
"I use what's flawed to bring blessing.
Ruth's faith in Me allows possessing,
Promises shunned by 'what's-his-name',
Are eternal blessings only faith can claim.
Myopic faith is not really faith at all!
My promises extend far beyond the eyeball.
Ruth and Boaz became channels of blessing,
The Davidic line keeps on progressing!
Their faith goes beyond the immediate story,
It will echo forever in eternal glory,
But 'what's-his-name' will not be celebrated,
His faithless story is forever truncated."
