Tobit 13:12-14

Good News Translation

¹² A curse will be on all who make threats against you,
    on all who destroy you and tear down your walls,
    on all who demolish your towers and burn your homes.
But all who honor you will be blessed forever.
¹³ Rejoice, Jerusalem, because of your righteous people;
    they will be gathered together from exile
    to praise the Lord of the ages.
¹⁴ Happy are all who love you
    and are pleased to see you prosper.
Those who mourn over your suffering now
    will one day be happy;
    your happiness will bring them joy forever.
