Midrash sur Ruth 3:18
וַתֹּ֙אמֶר֙ שְׁבִ֣י בִתִּ֔י עַ֚ד אֲשֶׁ֣ר תֵּֽדְעִ֔ין אֵ֖יךְ יִפֹּ֣ל דָּבָ֑ר כִּ֣י לֹ֤א יִשְׁקֹט֙ הָאִ֔ישׁ כִּֽי־אִם־כִּלָּ֥ה הַדָּבָ֖ר הַיּֽוֹם׃
Noémi répondit: "Demeure tranquille, ma fille, jusqu’à ce que tu saches quel sera le dénouement de l’affaire; assurément, cet homme ne se tiendra pour satisfait qu’il ne l’ait menée à bonne fin aujourd’hui même."
