Tob 10:11 And he blessed them, and sent them away, saying, The G.o.d of heaven give you a prosperous journey, my children.
Tob 10:12 And he said to his daughter, Honour thy father and thy mother in law, which are now thy parents, that I may hear good report of thee. And he kissed her. Edna also said to Tobias, The Lord of heaven restore thee, my dear brother, and grant that I may see thy children of my daughter Sara before I die, that I may rejoice before the Lord: behold, I commit my daughter unto thee of special trust; where are do not entreat her evil.
Tob 11:1 After these things Tobias went his way, praising G.o.d that he had given him a prosperous journey, and blessed Raguel and Edna his wife, and went on his way till they drew near unto Nineve.
Tob 11:2 Then Raphael said to Tobias, Thou knowest, brother, how thou didst leave thy father:
Tob 11:3 Let us haste before thy wife, and prepare the house.
Tob 11:4 And take in thine hand the gall of the fish. So they went their way, and the dog went after them.
Tob 11:5 Now Anna sat looking about toward the way for her son.
Tob 11:6 And when she espied him coming, she said to his father, Behold, thy son cometh, and the man that went with him.
Tob 11:7 Then said Raphael, I know, Tobias, that thy father will open his eyes.
Tob 11:8 Therefore anoint thou his eyes with the gall, and being p.r.i.c.ked therewith, he shall rub, and the whiteness shall fall away, and he shall see thee.
Tob 11:9 Then Anna ran forth, and fell upon the neck of her son, and said unto him, Seeing I have seen thee, my son, from henceforth I am content to die. And they wept both.
Tob 11:10 Tobit also went forth toward the door, and stumbled: but his son ran unto him,
Tob 11:11 And took hold of his father: and he strake of the gall on his fathers" eyes, saying, Be of good hope, my father.
Tob 11:12 And when his eyes began to smart, he rubbed them;
Tob 11:13 And the whiteness pilled away from the corners of his eyes: and when he saw his son, he fell upon his neck.
Tob 11:14 And he wept, and said, Blessed art thou, O G.o.d, and blessed is thy name for ever; and blessed are all thine holy angels:
Tob 11:15 For thou hast scourged, and hast taken pity on me: for, behold, I see my son Tobias. And his son went in rejoicing, and told his father the great things that had happened to him in Media.
Tob 11:16 Then Tobit went out to meet his daughter in law at the gate of Nineve, rejoicing and praising G.o.d: and they which saw him go marvelled, because he had received his sight.
Tob 11:17 But Tobias gave thanks before them, because G.o.d had mercy on him. And when he came near to Sara his daughter in law, he blessed her, saying, Thou art welcome, daughter: G.o.d be blessed, which hath brought thee unto us, and blessed be thy father and thy mother. And there was joy among all his brethren which were at Nineve.
Tob 11:18 And Achiacharus, and Nasbas his brother"s son, came:
Tob 11:19 And Tobias" wedding was kept seven days with great joy.
Tob 12:1 Then Tobit called his son Tobias, and said unto him, My son, see that the man have his wages, which went with thee, and thou must give him more.
Tob 12:2 And Tobias said unto him, O father, it is no harm to me to give him half of those things which I have brought:
Tob 12:3 For he hath brought me again to thee in safety, and made whole my wife, and brought me the money, and likewise healed thee.
Tob 12:4 Then the old man said, It is due unto him.
Tob 12:5 So he called the angel, and he said unto him, Take half of all that ye have brought and go away in safety.
Tob 12:6 Then he took them both apart, and said unto them, Bless G.o.d, praise him, and magnify him, and praise him for the things which he hath done unto you in the sight of all that live. It is good to praise G.o.d, and exalt his name, and honourably to shew forth the works of G.o.d; therefore be not slack to praise him.
Tob 12:7 It is good to keep close the secret of a king, but it is honourable to reveal the works of G.o.d. Do that which is good, and no evil shall touch you.
Tob 12:8 Prayer is good with fasting and alms and righteousness. A little with righteousness is better than much with unrighteousness. It is better to give alms than to lay up gold:
Tob 12:9 For alms doth deliver from death, and shall purge away all sin. Those that exercise alms and righteousness shall be filled with life:
Tob 12:10 But they that sin are enemies to their own life.
Tob 12:11 Surely I will keep close nothing from you. For I said, It was good to keep close the secret of a king, but that it was honourable to reveal the works of G.o.d.
Tob 12:12 Now therefore, when thou didst pray, and Sara thy daughter in law, I did bring the remembrance of your prayers before the Holy One: and when thou didst bury the dead, I was with thee likewise.
Tob 12:13 And when thou didst not delay to rise up, and leave thy dinner, to go and cover the dead, thy good deed was not hid from me: but I was with thee.
Tob 12:14 And now G.o.d hath sent me to heal thee and Sara thy daughter in law.
Tob 12:15 I am Raphael, one of the seven holy angels, which present the prayers of the saints, and which go in and out before the glory of the Holy One.
Tob 12:16 Then they were both troubled, and fell upon their faces: for they feared.
Tob 12:17 But he said unto them, Fear not, for it shall go well with you; praise G.o.d therefore.
Tob 12:18 For not of any favour of mine, but by the will of our G.o.d I came; wherefore praise him for ever.
Tob 12:19 All these days I did appear unto you; but I did neither eat nor drink, but ye did see a vision.
Tob 12:20 Now therefore give G.o.d thanks: for I go up to him that sent me; but write all things which are done in a book.
Tob 12:21 And when they arose, they saw him no more.
Tob 12:22 Then they confessed the great and wonderful works of G.o.d, and how the angel of the Lord had appeared unto them.
Tob 13:1 Then Tobit wrote a prayer of rejoicing, and said, Blessed be G.o.d that liveth for ever, and blessed be his kingdom.
Tob 13:2 For he doth scourge, and hath mercy: he leadeth down to h.e.l.l, and bringeth up again: neither is there any that can avoid his hand.
Tob 13:3 Confess him before the Gentiles, ye children of Israel: for he hath scattered us among them.
Tob 13:4 There declare his greatness, and extol him before all the living: for he is our Lord, and he is the G.o.d our Father for ever.
Tob 13:5 And he will scourge us for our iniquities, and will have mercy again, and will gather us out of all nations, among whom he hath scattered us.
Tob 13:6 If ye turn to him with your whole heart, and with your whole mind, and deal uprightly before him, then will he turn unto you, and will not hide his face from you. Therefore see what he will do with you, and confess him with your whole mouth, and praise the Lord of might, and extol the everlasting King. In the land of my captivity do I praise him, and declare his might and majesty to a sinful nation. O ye sinners, turn and do justice before him: who can tell if he will accept you, and have mercy on you?
Tob 13:7 I will extol my G.o.d, and my soul shall praise the King of heaven, and shall rejoice in his greatness.
