Tobit 5:18-20

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁸ But his mother^[a] began to weep, and said to Tobit, “Why is it that you have sent my child away? Is he not the staff of our hand as he goes in and out before us? ¹⁹ Do not heap money upon money, but let it be a ransom for our child. ²⁰ For the life that is given to us by the Lord is enough for us.”
