Tob 14:1 

So Tobit made an end of praising God. 

Tob 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. 

Tob 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. 

Tob 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; 

Tob 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. 

Tob 14:6 

And all nations shall turn, and fear the Lord God truly, and 

shall bury their idols. 

Tob 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. 

Tob 14:8 

And now, my son, depart out of Nineve, because that those 

things which the prophet Jonas spake shall surely come to pass. 

Tob 14:9 

But keep thou the law and the commandments, and shew thyself 

merciful and just, that it may go well with thee. 

Tob 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. 

Tob 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. 

Tob 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, 

Tob 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. 

Tob 14:14 

And he died at Ecbatane in Media, being an hundred and seven 

and twenty years old. 

Tob 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.
