Tobit 10:4-6

Common English Bible

⁴ Moreover, his wife Anna was saying, “My child has perished and no longer remains among the living.” She began to cry and mourn for her son, saying, ⁵ “What misery is mine, my child, light of my eyes, because I let you go away!”

⁶ Tobit would reply, “Be quiet! Don’t get so upset, my sister! He’s fine! Surely something has distracted them there. Moreover, the man traveling with him is trustworthy and one of our relatives. Don’t grieve about him, my sister. He’ll get here soon.”
