Tobit 10:4-6

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴ But his mother wept and was quite disconsolate, and said: Woe, woe is me, my son; why did we send thee to go to a strange country, the light of our eyes, the staff of our old age, the comfort of our life, the hope of our posterity?

⁵ We having all things together in thee alone, ought not to have let thee go from us.

⁶ And Tobias said to her: Hold thy peace, and be not troubled, our son is safe: that man with whom we sent him is very trusty.
