CHAP. XIV.
Old Tobias dieth at the age of
a hundred and two years,
after exhorting his son and
grandsons to piety, foreshewing
that Ninive shall be destroyed,
and Jerusalem rebuilt.
The younger Tobias
returneth with his family
to Raguel, and dieth happily
as he had lived.
1 And the words of Tobias
were ended. And
after Tobias was restored to
his sight, he lived two and
forty years, and saw the children
of his grand-children.
2 And after he had lived a
hundred and two years, he
was buried honourably in Ninive.
3 For he was six and fifty
years old when he lost the
sight of his eyes, and sixty
when he recovered it again.
4 And the rest of his life
was in joy, and with great
increase of the fear of God he
departed in peace.
5 And at the hour of his
death he called unto him his
son Tobias and his children,
seven young men, his grandsons,
and said to them:
6 The destruction of Ninive
-- --
is at hand: for the word
of the Lord must be fulfilled:
and our brethren, that are
scattered abroad from the land
of Israel, shall return to it.
7 And all the land thereof
that is desart shall be filled
with people, and the house
of God which is burnt in it,
shall again be rebuilt: and
all that fear God shall return
thither.
8 And the Gentiles shall
leave their idols, and shall
come into Jerusalem, and shall
dwell in it,
9 And all the kings of the
earth shall rejoice in it, adoring
the king of Israel.
10 Hearken therefore my
children to your father: serve
the Lord in truth, and seek to
do the things that please him:
11 And command your
children that they do justice
and alms deeds, and that they
be mindful of God, and bless
him at all times in truth, and
with all their power.
12 And now children hear
me, and do not stay here: but
as soon as you shall bury your
mother by me in one sepulchre,
without delay direct
your steps to depart hence:
13 For I see that its iniquity
will bring it to destruction.
14 And it came to pass
that after the death of his
mother, Tobias departed out
of Ninive with his wife, and
children, and children's children,
and returned to his father
and mother in-law.
15 And he found them in
health in a good old age: and
he took care of them, and he
closed their eyes: and all the
inheritance of Raguel's house
came to him: and he saw his
children's children to the fifth
generation.
16 And after he had lived
ninety nine years in the fear of
the Lord, with joy, they buried
him.
17 And all his kindred,
and all his generation continued
in good life, and in holy
conversation, so that they were
acceptable both to God, and
to men, and to all that dwelt
in the land.
