Tobit 3:7-9

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

Sarah Falsely Accused

⁷ On the same day, at Ecbat′ana in Media, it also happened that Sarah, the daughter of Rag′uel, was reproached by her father’s maids, ⁸ because she had been given to seven husbands, and the evil demon Asmode′us had slain each of them before he had been with her as his wife. So the maids^[a] said to her, “Do you not know that you strangle your husbands? You already have had seven and have had no benefit from^[b] any of them. ⁹ Why do you beat us? If they are dead, go with them! May we never see a son or daughter of yours!”
