Tobit 3:6-8

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁶ And now deal with me according to thy pleasure; command my spirit to be taken up, that I may depart and become dust. For it is better for me to die than to live, because I have heard false reproaches, and great is the sorrow within me. Command that I now be released from my distress to go to the eternal abode; do not turn thy face away from me.”

So the maids^[a] said to her, “Do you not know that you strangle your husbands? You already have had seven and have had no benefit from^[b] any of them.
