ἆρα θυσιάζουσιν; ἆρα δυνήσονται; καὶ σήμερον ἰάσονται τοὺς λίθους, μετὰ τὸ χῶμα γενέσθαι γῆς καυθέντας; 35 Καὶ Τωβίας ὁ Ἀμμανίτης ἐχόμενα αὐτοῦ ἦλθε, καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτοὺς, μὴ θυσιάζουσιν ἢ φάγονται ἐπὶ τοῦ τόπου αὐτῶν; οὐχὶ ἀναβήσεται ἀλώπηξ καὶ καθελεῖ τὸ τεῖχος λιθων αὐτῶν; 36 Ἄκουσον ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, ὅτι ἐγενήθημεν εἰς μυκτηρισμὸν, καὶ ἐπίστρεψον ὀνειδισμὸν αὐτῶν εἰς κεφαλὴν αὐτῶν, καὶ δὸς αὐτοὺς εἰς μυκτηρισμὸν ἐν γῇ αἰχμαλωσίας, 37 καὶ μὴ καλύψῃς ἐπὶ ἀνομίαν.
