<p>14:1 So Tobit made an end of praising God.</p>
<p>14:2 And he was eight and fifty years old when he lost his sight, which was
restored to him after eight years: and he gave alms, and he increased in the
fear of the Lord God, and praised him.</p>
<p>14:3 And when he was very aged he called his son, and the sons of his son, and
said to him, My son, take thy children; for, behold, I am aged, and am ready to
depart out of this life.</p>
<p>14:4 Go into Media my son, for I surely believe those things which Jonas the
prophet spake of Nineve, that it shall be overthrown; and that for a time peace
shall rather be in Media; and that our brethren shall lie scattered in the
earth from that good land: and Jerusalem shall be desolate, and the house of
God in it shall be burned, and shall be desolate for a time;</p>
<p>14:5 And that again God will have mercy on them, and bring them again into the
land, where they shall build a temple, but not like to the first, until the
time of that age be fulfilled; and afterward they shall return from all places
of their captivity, and build up Jerusalem gloriously, and the house of God
shall be built in it for ever with a glorious building, as the prophets have
spoken thereof.</p>
<p>14:6 And all nations shall turn, and fear the Lord God truly, and shall bury
their idols.</p>
<p>14:7 So shall all nations praise the Lord, and his people shall confess God,
and the Lord shall exalt his people; and all those which love the Lord God in
truth and justice shall rejoice, shewing mercy to our brethren.</p>
<p>14:8 And now, my son, depart out of Nineve, because that those things which the
prophet Jonas spake shall surely come to pass.</p>
<p>14:9 But keep thou the law and the commandments, and shew thyself merciful and
just, that it may go well with thee.</p>
<p>14:10 And bury me decently, and thy mother with me; but tarry no longer at
Nineve. Remember, my son, how Aman handled Achiacharus that brought him up, how
out of light he brought him into darkness, and how he rewarded him again: yet
Achiacharus was saved, but the other had his reward: for he went down into
darkness. Manasses gave alms, and escaped the snares of death which they had
set for him: but Aman fell into the snare, and perished.</p>
<p>14:11 Wherefore now, my son, consider what alms doeth, and how righteousness
doth deliver. When he had said these things, he gave up the ghost in the bed,
being an hundred and eight and fifty years old; and he buried him honourably.</p>
<p>14:12 And when Anna his mother was dead, he buried her with his father. But
Tobias departed with his wife and children to Ecbatane to Raguel his father in
law,</p>
<p>14:13 Where he became old with honour, and he buried his father and mother in
law honourably, and he inherited their substance, and his father Tobit’s.</p>
<p>14:14 And he died at Ecbatane in Media, being an hundred and seven and twenty
years old.</p>
<p>14:15 But before he died he heard of the destruction of Nineve, which was taken
by Nabuchodonosor and Assuerus: and before his death he rejoiced over Nineve.</p>
