18(17) And his mother wept, and said unto Tobit, Why is it that thou hast sent away my child? 19(18) Is he not the staff of our hand, and doth he not go in and out before us? Let not money be added to money: but let it be a ransom for our child. 20(19) As the Lord hath given us to live, so doth it suffice us. 21(20) And he said unto her, Trouble not; our child shall go in peace, and in peace come unto us and thine eyes shall see him in the day when he shall come unto thee in peace. 22(21) Trouble not: fear not for them, sister; for a good angel shall go with him, and his journey shall be prospered, and he shall return in peace.

61(22) And she was silent from her weeping.
