Tobit 4
1
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
Ask counsel of all that are wise, and despise not any counsel that is profitable.
19
Bless the Lord thy God alway, and desire of him that thy ways may be directed, and that all thy paths and counsels may prosper: for every nation hath not counsel; but the Lord himself giveth all good things, and he humbleth whom he will, as he will; now therefore, my son, remember my commandments, neither let them be put out of thy mind.
20
And now I signify this to thee, that I committed ten talents to Gabael the son of Gabrias at Rages in Media.
21
And fear not, my son, that we are made poor: for thou hast much wealth, if thou fear God, and depart from all sin, and do that which is pleasing in his sight.
