Tobit 10:4-6

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁴ His wife Anna said, “My son has perished and is no longer among the living.” And she began to weep and mourn for her son, saying, ⁵ “Woe to me, my child, the light of my eyes, that I let you make the journey.”^{(A) 6} But Tobit kept saying to her, “Be quiet and stop worrying, my sister; he is all right. Something must have happened to delay them. The man who went with him is trustworthy and is one of our own kin. Do not grieve for him, my sister; he will be here soon.”
