¶ The .xiiii. Chapter.
¶ Tobias prophecyeth the destruccion of Niniue. His
sonne retourned to Raguel, after the decesse of his
father and mother.
A And after that Tobias had gott&ebar; his
sight agayne, he lyued .xlii. yeares, ∧
sawe his childers chyldr&ebar;. Now wh&ebar;
he was .C. and .ii. yeare olde, he dyed: ∧ was
buryed honorably in Niniue. For when he
was sixe and fyftye yeares of age he lost the
sight of his eyes, &abar;d when he was thre score
yeare olde, he gat his sight agayne. The residue
of his lyfe led he in ioye, and increased
wel in the feare of God, ∧ departed in peace.
But in the houre of his death he called vnto
hym his sonne Tobias,
B and seuen yonge
springaldes his sonnes chyldren, and sayde
vnto them: The destruccion of Niniue is at
hand, for þe; worde of the Lorde c&abar;not fayle,
and our brethren that are scatred out of the
lande of Israel, shall come thyther agayne.
And the whole land of it þt; hath bene wast,
shalbe fylled: &abar;d the house of God that was
brent in it, shalbe buylded agayne: ∧ al soch
as feare God, shal returne thither: the Heathen
also shal forsake their Idols, ∧ come to
Ierusalem, and dwell there, and al the kynges
of the earth shalbe glad of her, and worshyp
the Lorde God of Israell.
C And therfore my chyldr&ebar;, heare your father:
Serue the Lorde in the trueth, seke after
his wil, and do the thynge that pleaseth
hym. C&obar;maunde your chyldr&ebar; that they do
right, geue almes, be myndeful of God, and
euer to be thankful vnto hym in trueth and
with all theyr power. Heare me now therfore
my chyldren, and abyde not here: but in
what daye soeuer ye haue buryed your mother
besyde me, get you from hence. For I
se, that the wyckednesse of it shall brynge it
to destruccion and ende.
D After the death of hys mother, Tobias
departed awaye fr&obar; Niniue, with hys wyfe
and children, and with his childers chyldr&ebar;,
and came agayne to his father &abar;d mother in
lawe, and founde them whole and in a good
age, and toke the care of them. And he closed
their eyes, and was heyre vnto al Raguels
goodes, and sawe the fyfth generacion, and
his childers children. And wh&ebar; he was .xcix.
yeare of age, he dyed in the feare of þe; Lorde,
and his kynsfolkes buryed him. And al hys
posteryte contynued in good lyfe, and holy
conuersacion: so that they were loued &abar;d accepted
both of God and men, and of all the
people of the lande.
