Tobit 5:17-19

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁷ But Anna,^[a] his mother, began to weep, and said to Tobit, “Why have you sent our child away? Is he not the staff of our hands as he goes in and out before us? ¹⁸ Do not add money to money, but consider it as rubbish as compared to our child. ¹⁹ For the life that is given to us by the Lord is enough for us.”
