“Blessed be the living God through all the ages, and blessed be his kingdom. For he is the one who scourges and shows mercy; he brings down to Hades and he brings back up, and there is no one who can slip out of his hand.
In context
1And Tobit wrote a prayer of exultation, and he said: 2“Blessed be the living God through all the ages, and blessed be his kingdom. For he is the one who scourges and shows mercy; he brings down to Hades and he brings back up, and there is no one who can slip out of his hand. 3Give him thanks, sons of Israel, in front of the nations, for he is the one who scattered us among them. 4There make his greatness known; lift him high before everything that lives, for he is our Lord and God, he is our Father through all the ages.
