Tobit 13:2

2 For he afflicts, and he shows mercy; he leads down to Hades, and brings up again, and there is no one who can escape his hand.

Tobit 13:2 In-Context

1 Then Tobit wrote a prayer of rejoicing, and said: "Blessed is God who lives for ever, and blessed is his kingdom.

2 For he afflicts, and he shows mercy; he leads down to Hades, and brings up again, and there is no one who can escape his hand.

3 Acknowledge him before the nations, O sons of Israel; for he has scattered us among them.

4 Make his greatness known there, and exalt him in the presence of all the living; because he is our Lord and God, he is our Father for ever.

5 He will afflict us for our iniquities; and again he will show mercy, and will gather us from all the nations among whom you have been scattered.
