Tobit 13:4-6

New Catholic Bible

⁴ he has shown you his greatness even there.
Exalt him in the presence of every living creature,
    for he is our Lord and our God;
    he is our Father and our God forever.
⁵ He will scourge you for your iniquities,
    but he will again show his mercy to all of you.
He will gather you from all the nations
    among whom you have been dispersed.
⁶ “If you turn to him with all your heart and soul
    to do what is right in his presence,
then he will turn to you
    and will no longer hide his face from you.
So now consider what he has done for you
    and shout your praises to him.
Bless the Lord of justice
    and exalt the King of the ages.
“In the land of my exile I sing his praise
    and make known his power and majesty to a sinful nation:
Turn back, you sinners, and be upright in your conduct before him;
    perhaps he will then look upon you with favor
    and show you mercy.
