10
Whe she heard these things, she was very sorrowful, so that she thought to have strangled
herself; and she said, I am the only daughter of my father, and if I do this, it shall be a reproach
unto him, and I shall bring his old age with sorrow unto the grave.
11
Then she prayed toward the window, and said, Blessed art thou, O Lord my God, and thine
holy and glorious name is blessed and honourable for ever: let all thy works praise thee for ever.
12
And now, O Lord, I set mine eyes and my face toward thee,
13
And say, Take me out of the earth, that I may hear no more the reproach.
14
Thou knowest, Lord, that I am pure from all sin with man,
15
And that I never polluted my name, nor the name of my father, in the land of my captivity: I
am the only daughter of my father, neither hath he any child to be his heir, neither any near kinsman,
nor any son of his alive, to whom I may keep myself for a wife: my seven husbands are already
dead; and why should I live? but if it please not thee that I should die, command some regard to be
had of me, and pity taken of me, that I hear no more reproach.
16
So the prayers of them both were heard before the majesty of the great God.
17
And Raphael was sent to heal them both, that is, to scale away the whiteness of Tobit's eyes,
and to give Sara the daughter of Raguel for a wife to Tobias the son of Tobit; and to bind Asmodeus
the evil spirit; because she belonged to Tobias by right of inheritance. The selfsame time came
Tobit home, and entered into his house, and Sara the daughter of Raguel came down from her upper
chamber.
CHAPTER 4
In that day Tobit remembered the money which he had committed to Gabael in Rages of Media,
2
And said with himself, I have wished for death; wherefore do I not call for my son Tobias that
I may signify to him of the money before I die?
3
And when he had called him, he said, My son, when I am dead, bury me; and despise not thy
mother, but honour her all the days of thy life, and do that which shall please her, and grieve her
not.
4
Remember, my son, that she saw many dangers for thee, when thou wast in her womb: and
when she is dead, bury her by me in one grave.
5
My son, be mindful of the Lord our God all thy days, and let not thy will be set to sin, or to
transgress his commandments: do uprightly all thy life long, and follow not the ways of
unrighteousness.
6
For if thou deal truly, thy doings shall prosperously succeed to thee, and to all them that live
justly.
7
Give alms of thy substance; and when thou givest alms, let not thine eye be envious, neither
turn thy face from any poor, and the face of God shall not be turned away from thee.
