Tobit 11:14-16
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
14 and he wept and said to him, ‘I see you, my son, the light of my eyes!’ Then he said,
‘Blessed be God,
and blessed be his great name,
and blessed be all his holy angels.
May his holy name be blessed[a]
throughout all the ages.
15 Though he afflicted me,
he has had mercy upon me.[b]
Now I see my son Tobias!’
So Tobit went in rejoicing and praising God at the top of his voice. Tobias reported to his father that his journey had been successful, that he had brought the money, that he had married Raguel’s daughter Sarah, and that she was, indeed, on her way there, very near to the gate of Nineveh.
16 Then Tobit, rejoicing and praising God, went out to meet his daughter-in-law at the gate of Nineveh. When the people of Nineveh saw him coming, walking along in full vigour and with no one leading him, they were amazed.
