Tobit 12:11-13

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹¹ I discover then the truth unto you, and I will not hide the secret from you.

¹² When thou didst pray with tears, and didst bury the dead, and didst leave thy dinner, and hide the dead by day in thy house, and bury them by night, I offered thy prayer to the Lord.

¹³ And because thou wast acceptable to God, it was necessary that temptation should prove thee.
