George Leo Haydock, on Tob 2:12
George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Tob 2:12 · Douay-Rheims
“Now this trial the Lord therefore permitted to happen to him, that an example might be given to posterity of his patience, as also of holy Job.”
On this verse:
“Now. This is omitted in Greek and Hebrew as far as ver. 19. St. Ambrose says beautifully, that Tobias “was more grieved that he could yield no assistance to others, than for the loss of his sight.””
