Tobit 5:17 Context
15Yea moreouer, if ye returne safe, I will adde some thing to the wages. 16So they were well pleased. Then said he to Tobias; Prepare thy selfe for the iourney, and God send you a good iourney. And when his sonne had prepared all things for the iourney, his father said; Goe thou with this man, and God which dwelleth in heauen prosper your iourney, & the Angel of God keepe you company. So they went foorth both, and the yong mans dogge with them. 17But Anna his mother wept, and said to Tobit, Why hast thou sent away our sonne? is hee not the staffe of our hand, in going in and out before vs? 18Be not greedy (to adde) money to money: but let it bee as refuse in respect of our childe. 19For that which the Lord hath giuen vs to liue with, doeth suffice vs.
