Tobit 8:5-7

New Catholic Bible

“Blessed are you, O God of our ancestors;
    may your name be praised forever and ever.
Let the heavens and everything you have created
    praise you forever.
⁶ You made Adam, and you provided him with his wife Eve
    to be his help and support,
    and from these two the human race has sprung.
You said, ‘It is not good for the man to be alone;
    let us provide him with a helper like himself.’
⁷ And now I am taking this kinswoman as my wife
    not out of lust
    but with sincere love.
Grant that she and I may obtain mercy
    and that we may reach a happy old age together.”
