Tobit 11:12–15

¹²and it stung.^{b 13}Next, with both his hands he peeled off the white films from the corners of his eyes. Then Tobit^c threw his arms around him,^{* 14}and he wept and said to him, “I see you, my son, the light of my eyes!” Then he said,

“Blessed be God.

May his great name be upon us,

and blessed be all the angels^d

throughout all the ages.^*

¹⁵Though he afflicted me,^e

now I see my son Tobias!”

So Tobit went in rejoicing and praising God at the top of his voice. Tobias reported to his father that his journey had been successful, that he had brought the money, that he had married Raguel’s daughter Sarah, and that she was, indeed, on her way there, very near to the gate of Nineveh.^*
