Tobit 13:4–6

4 Because he hath therefore scattered you among the Gentiles, who know not him, that you may declare his wonderful works, and make them know that there is no other almighty God besides him.

5 He hath chastised us for our iniquities: and he will save us for his own mercy.

6 See then what he hath done with us, and with fear and trembling give ye glory to him: and extol the eternal King of worlds in your works.

Tobit 13:4–6 — New Revised Standard Version: Updated Edition (NRSVue)

3 Acknowledge him before the nations, O children of Israel,

for he has scattered you among them.

4 He has shown you his greatness even there.

Exalt him in the presence of every living being,

because he is our Lord, and he is our God;

he is our Father, and he is God forever.

5 He will afflict you for your iniquities,

but he will again show mercy on all of you.

He will gather you from all the nations

among whom you have been scattered.

6 If you turn to him with all your heart and with all your soul,

to do what is true before him,

then he will turn to you

and will no longer hide his face from you.

So now see what he has done for you;

acknowledge him at the top of your voice.

Bless the Lord of righteousness,

and exalt the King of the ages.

In the land of my exile I acknowledge him

and show his power and majesty to a nation of sinners:

‘Turn back, you sinners, and do what is right before him;

perhaps he may look with favor upon you and show you mercy.’
