Tobit 5:18-20

Common English Bible

¹⁸ His mother began to weep and said to Tobit, “Why have you sent my child away? Isn’t he the staff on which we lean^[a] as he comes and goes in our presence? ¹⁹ Don’t make money more important than it is;^[b] instead, let it be ransom for our child’s sake. ²⁰ It’s enough for us to live as the Lord has provided.”
