Tobit 13:5-7
Common English Bible
5 He will punish you for your unjust acts,
    but he will also show all of you mercy and gather you together[a]
        out of all the nations among which you have been scattered.
6 When you turn to him
with all your heart and your all being
to act sincerely before him,
    then he will turn to you and never
    hide his face from you again.
And now, look at what
he has done for you,
    and acknowledge him
    in everything you say.[b]
Praise the Lord of righteousness,
and exalt the king of the ages!
    I will acknowledge him in the land where I am a captive
        and make known his power
        and greatness to a sinful nation.[c]
So turn around, you sinners,
and act justly before him.
    Who knows?
    Perhaps he will want you back
    and show you mercy.
7 My soul exalts my God,
the king of heaven,
    and my soul will rejoice
    all the days of my life.
