Tobit 10:4-6

Good News Translation

⁴ Then Anna said,
    My son is dead. I'm sure of it. She began to weep and to mourn for Tobias, ⁵ 
    Oh, my son, the joy of my life, why did I ever let you leave home?

⁶ Tobit tried to comfort her.
    Calm down, my dear, he said.
    Don't worry. He will be all right. Something unexpected is probably keeping them there longer than we counted on. Besides, his companion is a reliable man and a relative at that. Don't let yourself get so upset over him, dear. I'm sure he is already on his way home.
