Tobit 10:4-6

New Catholic Bible

⁴ His wife Anna said, “My son has perished and is no longer among the living.” And she began to weep, and to mourn over her son, saying, ⁵ “Alas, my child, the light of my eyes. Why did I permit you to make this journey?”

⁶ However, Tobit continued to reassure her: “Hush! Do not worry, my dear. He is all right. Probably something unexpected has happened to delay them. The man who is accompanying him is trustworthy and one of our kindred. So do not grieve for him, my dear. He will be here soon.”
