Tobit 13:10-12
Common English Bible
10 Acknowledge the Lord in goodness,
and praise the Lord of ages!
Then[a] your dwelling will be rebuilt
for you with joy.
He will bring joy to
all the captives among you,
and he will love for all eternity
all those who have been subjugated.
11 A bright light will shine forth
into the farthest corners of the earth.
Many nations will come to you
from afar,
and inhabitants from all the ends
of the earth will come
to your holy name.
They will bear gifts in their hands
for the king of heaven.
Generation after generation
will give joyful worship to you
and honor your name forever and always.
12 May all who have despised you
and slandered you be cursed!
Cursed are all who hate you and all who speak a harsh word against you.[b]
But all who revere you
will be blessed for eternity.
