Tobit 12:1-6

1 Tobit then called his son Tobias and said to him, "My son, see to the wages of the man who went with you; and he must also be given more."

2 He replied, "Father, it would do me no harm to give him half of what I have brought back.

3 For he has led me back to you safely, he cured my wife, he obtained the money for me, and he also healed you."

4 The old man said, "He deserves it."

5 So he called the angel and said to him, "Take half of all that you two have brought back."

6 Then the angel called the two of them privately and said to them: "Praise God and give thanks to him; exalt him and give thanks to him in the presence of all the living for what he has done for you. It is good to praise God and to exalt his name, worthily declaring the works of God. Do not be slow to give him thanks.
