Tobit 4:17

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁷Place your bread^[a] on the grave of the righteous, but give none to sinners.

Footnotes

4.17 place your bread: The Greek verb means literally “pour out.” The Latin, with its “thy bread and thy wine,” preserves better the original text, cf. the Story of Ahikar: “Pour out thy wine on the graves of the righteous and drink it not with evil men.”
