God that liveth for ever, and blessed be his kingdom. 

Tob 13:2 

For he doth scourge, and hath mercy: he leadeth down to hell, 

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 God 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 God, and my soul shall praise the King of 

heaven, and shall rejoice in his greatness.

righteous. 

Tob 13:10 

Give praise to the Lord, for he is good: and praise the 

everlasting King, that his tabernacle may be builded in thee 

again with joy, and let him make joyful there in thee those that 

are captives, and love in thee for ever those that are 

miserable. 

Tob 13:11 

Many nations shall come from far to the name of the Lord God 

with gifts in their hands, even gifts to the King of heaven; all 

generations shall praise thee with great joy. 

Tob 13:12 

Cursed are all they which hate thee, and blessed shall all be 

which love thee for ever. 

Tob 13:13 

Rejoice and be glad for the children of the just: for they 

shall be gathered together, and shall bless the Lord of the 

just. 

Tob 13:14 

O blessed are they which love thee, for they shall rejoice in 

thy peace: blessed are they which have been sorrowful for all 

thy scourges; for they shall rejoice for thee, when they have 

seen all thy glory, and shall be glad for ever. 

Tob 13:15 

Let my soul bless God the great King. 

Tob 13:16 

For Jerusalem shall be built up with sapphires and emeralds, 

and precious stone: thy walls and towers and battlements with 

pure gold. 

Tob 13:17 

And the streets of Jerusalem shall be paved with beryl and 

carbuncle and stones of Ophir. 

Tob 13:18 

And all her streets shall say, Alleluia; and they shall 

praise him, saying, Blessed be God, which hath extolled it for 

ever.
