Tobit 13:1 In-Context

1 Then Tobit prayed: "Praise the eternal God, praise the one who rules.

2 He punishes us; then he shows us mercy. He sends us down to the world of the dead, then he brings us up from the grave. No one can escape his power.

3 "People of Israel, give thanks among the nations, where he sent you into exile;

4 even there he showed his great power. Let all who live hear your praise. The Lord is our God and father forever.

5 "Though he punished you for your wickedness, he will be merciful and bring you home from among the nations where he scattered you.
