Tobit 7:9-11

Good News Translation

⁹ But Raguel overheard the question and said to Tobias,
¹⁰     Eat and drink something first and enjoy yourself this evening. You have the right to marry Sarah, and I cannot let anyone else marry her, because you are my closest relative. But I must tell you the truth, my son. ¹¹ I have already given her to seven men, all of them relatives. Each one died on his wedding night, as soon as he entered the bedroom. But now, my son, have something to eat and drink. The Lord will take care of you both.

Tobias replied,
I won't eat or drink until you give me your word.
