14 For thou hast chastened and had mercy on me. Behold, I see Tobias my son. And his son came in joyfully, and told his father of the wonderful things that had happened to him in Media.

15 And Tobit went out to meet his daughter-in-law at the gate of Nineveh, rejoicing and blessing God. Those who saw him coming were amazed at how he had regained his sight.

17 And Ahiachar came, and Nasbas his nephew,
