Tobit 13:14-16

Common English Bible

¹⁴ Favored by God are those who love you,
    favored are those who rejoice
    when you are at peace,
    and favored are all the people
    who grieve when you are afflicted,
        for they will rejoice over you
        and will see all your joy forever.
¹⁵     I praise the Lord, the great king!
¹⁶     Jerusalem will be built as a city,
        God’s house for all ages to come.
I will be greatly favored
    when the few remaining from
    my offspring see your glory
    and acknowledge the king of heaven!
The gates of Jerusalem will be built
with sapphire and emerald,
    and all your walls
    will be made of precious stone.
The towers of Jerusalem
will be built with gold,
    and their fortifications will be made of pure gold.
