Tob 4:1 

In that day Tobit remembered the money which he had committed 

to Gabael in Rages of Media, 

Tob 4:2 

And said with himself, I have wished for death; wherefore do 

I not call for my son Tobias that I may signify to him of the 

money before I die? 

Tob 4:3 

And when he had called him, he said, My son, when I am dead, 

bury me; and despise not thy mother, but honour her all the days 

of thy life, and do that which shall please her, and grieve her 

not. 

Tob 4:4 

Remember, my son, that she saw many dangers for thee, when 

thou wast in her womb: and when she is dead, bury her by me in 

one grave. 

Tob 4:5 

My son, be mindful of the Lord our God all thy days, and let 

not thy will be set to sin, or to transgress his commandments: 

do uprightly all thy life long, and follow not the ways of 

unrighteousness. 

Tob 4:6 

For if thou deal truly, thy doings shall prosperously succeed 

to thee, and to all them that live justly. 

Tob 4:7 

Give alms of thy substance; and when thou givest alms, let 

not thine eye be envious, neither turn thy face from any poor, 

and the face of God shall not be turned away from thee. 

Tob 4:8 

If thou hast abundance give alms accordingly: if thou have 

but a little, be not afraid to give according to that little: 

Tob 4:9 

For thou layest up a good treasure for thyself against the 

day of necessity. 

Tob 4:10 

Because that alms do deliver from death, and suffereth not to 

come into darkness. 

Tob 4:11 

For alms is a good gift unto all that give it in the sight of 

the most High. 

Tob 4:12 

Beware of all whoredom, my son, and chiefly take a wife of 

the seed of thy fathers, and take not a strange woman to wife, 

which is not of thy father's tribe: for we are the children of 

the prophets, Noe, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: remember, my son, 

that our fathers from the beginning, even that they all married 

wives of their own kindred, and were blessed in their children, 

and their seed shall inherit the land. 

Tob 4:13 

Now therefore, my son, love thy brethren, and despise not in 

thy heart thy brethren, the sons and daughters of thy people, in 

not taking a wife of them: for in pride is destruction and much 

trouble, and in lewdness is decay and great want: for lewdness 

is the mother of famine. 

Tob 4:14 

Let not the wages of any man, which hath wrought for thee, 

tarry with thee, but give him it out of hand: for if thou serve 

God, he will also repay thee: be circumspect my son, in all 

things thou doest, and be wise in all thy conversation. 

Tob 4:15 

Do that to no man which thou hatest: drink not wine to make 

thee drunken: neither let drunkenness go with thee in thy 

journey. 

Tob 4:16 

Give of thy bread to the hungry, and of thy garments to them 

that are naked; and according to thine abundance give alms: and 

let not thine eye be envious, when thou givest alms. 

Tob 4:17 

Pour out thy bread on the burial of the just, but give 

nothing to the wicked. 

Tob 4:18 

Ask counsel of all that are wise, and despise not any counsel 

that is profitable. 

Tob 4:19 

Bless the Lord thy God alway, and desire of him that thy ways 

may be directed, and that all thy paths and counsels may 

prosper: for every nation hath not counsel; but the Lord himself 

giveth all good things, and he humbleth whom he will, as he 

will; now therefore, my son, remember my commandments, neither 

let them be put out of thy mind. 

Tob 4:20 

And now I signify this to they that I committed ten talents 

to Gabael the son of Gabrias at Rages in Media. 

Tob 4:21 

And fear not, my son, that we are made poor: for thou hast 

much wealth, if thou fear God, and depart from all sin, and do 

that which is pleasing in his sight.
