Tobit 13:14-16

Good News Translation

¹⁴ Happy are all who love you
    and are pleased to see you prosper.
Those who mourn over your suffering now
    will one day be happy;
    your happiness will bring them joy forever.
¹⁵ I praise the Lord, the great King;
¹⁶     Jerusalem will be rebuilt
    and will be his home forever.
Jerusalem, how happy I will be
    when my descendants can see your splendor
    and give thanks to the King of heaven.
Your gates will be built with sapphires and emeralds,
    and all your walls with precious stones.
Your towers will be made of gold,
    and their fortifications of pure gold.
