Tobit 8:4-6
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
4 When the parents[a] had gone out and shut the door of the room, Tobias got out of bed and said to Sarah,[b] “Sister, get up, and let us pray and implore our Lord that he grant us mercy and safety.”(A) 5 So she got up, and they began to pray and implore that they might be kept safe. Tobias[c] began by saying,
“Blessed are you, O God of our ancestors,
and blessed is your name in all generations forever.
Let the heavens and the whole creation bless you forever.(B)
6 You made Adam, and for him you made his wife Eve
as a helper and support.
From the two of them the human race has sprung.
You said, ‘It is not good that the man should be alone;
let us make a helper for him like himself.’(C)
