and brings them up from the great abyss. | “Praise him, you Israelites, before the nations | for though he has scattered you among them | he has shown you his greatness even there. | Exalt him in the presence of every living creature | for he is our Lord and our God | he is our Father and our God forever. | Tobit 13:2-4 NCB.

More quotes by Tobit

Do not do to anyone what you yourself hate. Do not drink wine to excess or allow drunkenness to become your companion on your journey of life.

If you turn to him with all your heart and soul

Give alms from your possessions, and do not let your eye begrudge the gift when you make it. Do not turn your face away from anyone who is poor, and the face of God will not be turned away from you.

The healing of Tobi (Bernardo Strozzi, 1635 ca.)
