17. But Anna his mother wept, and said to Tobit, Why have you sent away our child? is he not the staff of our hand, in going in and out before us?
18. Be not greedy to add money to money: but let it be as refuse in respect of our child.
19. For as the Lord has given us to live, so does it suffice us.
20. And Tobit said to her, Take no care, my sister; he shall return safe and sound, and your eyes shall see him.
21. For a good angel shall go with him, and his journey shall be prospered, and he shall return safe and sound.
22. And she made an end of weeping.
