Midras Rut 3:18: Ruth Rabbah

וַתֹּ֙אמֶר֙ שְׁבִ֣י בִתִּ֔י עַ֚ד אֲשֶׁ֣ר תֵּֽדְעִ֔ין אֵ֖יךְ יִפֹּ֣ל דָּבָ֑ר כִּ֣י לֹ֤א יִשְׁקֹט֙ הָאִ֔ישׁ כִּֽי־אִם־כִּלָּ֥ה הַדָּבָ֖ר הַיּֽוֹם׃

Lalu ia berkata: “Tinggallah di sini, anakku, sampai engkau tahu bagaimana perkara ini akan jadinya, sebab laki-laki itu tidak akan berdiam diri sebelum ia menyelesaikan perkara itu hari ini juga.”

Ruth Rabbah

“She said: Sit, my daughter, until you know how the matter will develop, as the man will not rest unless he finishes the matter today” (Ruth 3:18).
“She said: Sit, my daughter.” Rabbi Huna [said] in the name of Rabbi Shmuel bar Rav Yitzḥak: The righteous, their yes is yes and their no is no, as it is stated: “As the man will not rest unless he finishes the matter today.”
