Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day.

Verse 18 is found in chapter 3 of Ruth. Naomi advises Ruth to wait because Boaz will not rest until he resolves the matter. The chapter ends with an inversion of Naomi’s initial anxiety. Now she trusts that someone will act diligently to resolve the family situation, while the outcome rests with Boaz and the kinship procedure.

Sie aber sprach: Sei still, meine Tochter, bis du erfährst, wo es hinaus will; denn der Mann wird nicht ruhen, er bringe es denn heute zu Ende.
Entonces Noemi dijo: Reposa, hija mía, hasta que sepas como cae la cosa: porque aquel hombre no parará hasta que hoy concluya el negocio.
Noemí dijo: «Espera, hija mía, hasta saber cómo se resuelve el asunto. Ese hombre no descansará hasta haber resuelto hoy el asunto».
Et Naomi dit: Sois tranquille, ma fille, jusqu'à ce que tu saches comment finira la chose, car cet homme ne se donnera point de repos qu'il n'ait terminé cette affaire aujourd'hui.
E Naomi le disse: Rimantene, figliuola mia, finchè tu sappia come la cosa riuscirà; perciocchè quell’uomo non resterà ch’egli non abbia oggi compiuto quest’affare
Então disse ela: Espera, minha filha, até que saibas como irá o caso, porque aquele homem não descansará até que conclua hoje este negócio.
