Tobit 13:9-11
Good News Translation
9 (A)Jerusalem, Holy City of our God,
he will punish you for the sins of your people,
but he will be merciful to all who do right.
10 So give thanks to the Lord, for he is good.
Praise the eternal King.[a]
Your Temple will be rebuilt,
and your people will be happy again.
May the Lord make all your exiles glad,
may he take care of your suffering people
for as long as time shall last.
11 Jerusalem, your light will shine brightly for all the world,
and from far away many nations will come to you.
Their people will come to honor the Lord your God,
they will bring gifts for the King of heaven.
In your streets many generations will sing joyful praise,
your name will endure forever as God's chosen city.
