Tobit 10:6 CPDV

⁴  But his mother wept inconsolable tears, and also said: 'Woe, woe to me, O my son. Why did we send you to journey far away, you: the light of our eyes, the staff of our old age, the solace of our life, the hope of our posterity?

⁵  Having all things together as one in you, we ought not to have dismissed you from us.'

⁶  And Tobit was saying to her: 'Be calm, and do not be troubled. Our son is safe. That man, with whom we sent him, is faithful enough.'

⁷  Yet she was by no means able to be consoled. But, leaping up every day, she looked all round, and traveled around all the ways, by which there seemed any hope that he might return, so that she might possibly see him coming from afar.

⁸  In truth, Raguel said to his son-in-law, 'Remain here, and I will send a message of your health to your father Tobit.'
