Tobit 2:14
Good News Translation
"No!" she replied. "It was given to me as a gift in addition to what I got for the cloth." But I didn't believe her, and I blushed for shame for what she had done. I ordered her to return the goat to its owners, but she had the last word. "Now I see what you are really like!" she shouted. "Where is all that concern of yours for others? What about all those good deeds you used to do?"

New Revised Standard Version
But she said to me, “It was given to me as a gift in addition to my wages.” But I did not believe her, and told her to return it to the owners. I became flushed with anger against her over this. Then she replied to me, “Where are your acts of charity? Where are your righteous deeds? These things are known about you!”

Contemporary English Version
She replied, "That goat was given to me as a gift along with the usual payment for my work!" But I didn't believe her, and my face was red with anger as I told her to return the goat to its owners. She answered, "Tobit, why have you changed so much? You used to be so kind, and, as everyone knows, you always did the right thing!"

New American Bible
But she said to me, “It was given to me as a bonus over and above my wages.” Yet I would not believe her and told her to give it back to its owners. I flushed with anger at her over this. So she retorted: “Where are your charitable deeds now? Where are your righteous acts? Look! All that has happened to you is well known!”
