Tobit 2 - World English Bible, American English Edition, without Strong's Numbers(engWEBUS)

1Now when I had come home again, and my wife Anna was restored to me, and my son Tobias, in the feast of Pentecost, which is the holy feast of the seven weeks, there was a good dinner prepared for me, and I sat down to eat.

2I saw abundance of meat, and I said to my son, “Go and bring whatever poor man you find of our kindred, who is mindful of the Lord. Behold, I wait for you.”

3Then he came, and said, “Father, one of our race is strangled, and has been cast out in the marketplace.”

4Before I had tasted anything, I sprang up, and took him up into a chamber until the sun had set.

5Then I returned, washed myself, ate my bread in heaviness,

6and remembered the prophecy of Amos, as he said,

into Elymais.

11My wife Anna wove cloth in the women’s chambers,

12and sent the work back to the owners. They on their part paid her wages, and also gave her a kid.

13But when it came to my house, it began to cry, and I said to her, “Where did this kid come from? Is it stolen? Give it back to the owners; for it is not lawful to eat anything that is stolen.”

14But she said, “It has been given to me for a gift more than the wages.”

I didn’t believe her, and I asked her to return it to the owners; and I was ashamed of her.

But she answered and said to me, “Where are your alms and your righteous deeds? Behold, you and all your works are known.”
