Tobit 13:11-13
Common English Bible
11 A bright light will shine forth
into the farthest corners of the earth.
Many nations will come to you
from afar,
and inhabitants from all the ends
of the earth will come
to your holy name.
They will bear gifts in their hands
for the king of heaven.
Generation after generation
will give joyful worship to you
and honor your name forever and always.
12 May all who have despised you
and slandered you be cursed!
Cursed are all who hate you and all who speak a harsh word against you.[a]
But all who revere you
will be blessed for eternity.
13 Rejoice then and be glad[b]
for the children of the righteous,
for all will be gathered together
and praise the eternal Lord.
