Tobit 2:4-6
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
4 I sprang to my feet, leaving the dinner untouched, carried the dead man from the square, and put him in one of the rooms until sundown, so that I might bury him. 5 I returned and washed[a] and in sorrow ate my food.(A) 6 I remembered the oracle pronounced by the prophet Amos against Bethel:(B)
“I will turn your feasts into mourning,
and all your songs into dirges.”
