Tobit’s Thanksgiving to God

(Rev 21:9–22:5)

13 Then Tobita said:

“Blessed be God who lives forever,

because his kingdomb lasts throughout all ages.

2 For he afflicts, and he shows mercy;

he leads down to Hades in the lowest regions of the earth,

and he brings up from the great abyss,c

and there is nothing that can escape his hand.

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 afflictd 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.
