Tobit 13:11-13
New Catholic Bible
The New Jerusalem, Light of the Nations
11 “A bright light will shine over all the regions of the earth;
many nations will come to you from afar,
drawn to your holy name, Lord God, from every corner of the earth,
bearing gifts in their hands for the King of heaven.
Generation after generation will give joyful praise to you,
and the name of your chosen city will endure forever through all ages.
12 Accursed are all who speak a harsh word against you;
accursed are all who destroy you
and pull down your walls,
all who overthrow your towers
and set your homes on fire;
but blessed forever are all those who rebuild you.
13 “Go, then, and rejoice over the children of the righteous,
for they will all be gathered together
and will praise the Lord of the ages.
