Tobit 2:12DRA

Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 12 of 23

"Now this trial the Lord therefore permitted to happen to him, that an example might be given to posterity of his patience, as also of holy Job."
Tobit 2:12

In context

10Now it happened one day, that being wearied with burying, he came to his house, and cast himself down by the wall and slept,

11And as he was sleeping, hot dung out of a swallow’s nest fell upon his eyes, and he was made blind.

12Now this trial the Lord therefore permitted to happen to him, that an example might be given to posterity of his patience, as also of holy Job.

13For whereas he had always feared God from his infancy, and kept his commandments, he repined not against God because the evil of blindness had befallen him,

14But continued immoveable in the fear of God, giving thanks to God all the days of his life.
