Tobit 13:4–6

4 He has shown you his greatness even there.

Exalt him in the presence of every living being,

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

he is our Father, and he is God forever.

5 He will afflicto 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.p

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.’*
