Tobit 2:7-9

Revised Standard Version

Tobit Becomes Blind

⁷ When the sun had set I went and dug a grave and buried the body.^{[a] 8} And my neighbors laughed at me and said, “He is no longer afraid that he will be put to death for doing this; he once ran away, and here he is burying the dead again!” ⁹ On the same night I returned from burying him, and because I was defiled I slept by the wall of the courtyard, and my face was uncovered.
