Tobit 13:9-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
9 Jerusalem, holy city,
he will afflict you for the works of your hands,[a]
but will again pity the children of the righteous.(A)
10 Give thanks to the Lord with righteousness,
and bless the King of the ages,
so that your tabernacle may be rebuilt in you with joy.
May he gladden within you all who are captives;
may he cherish within you all who are distressed
for all generations to come.(B)
11 A bright light will shine to the limits of the earth.
Many nations will come to you from afar,
And inhabitants of all the ends of the earth
to your holy name,
Bearing in their hands gifts for the King of heaven.
Generation after generation will offer joyful worship in you;
your name will be great forever and ever.(C)
