Thy children shall
they carry away
captive, and, look, what thou hast,
they shall
spoil it, and
mar the beauty of thy face.
Woe be unto
thee, Babylon, and Asia!
woe be unto
thee, Egypt and Syria!
Plagues are sent unto you, and what is he that may drive them away?
May any man drive away an
hungry lion in
the wood? or may any one
quench the fire in
stubble, when it hath begun to burn?
May one turn again
the arrow that is shot of a strong archer?
The mighty Lord sendeth the plagues and who is he that can drive them away?
The Lord shall
threaten, and who shall not be utterly beaten to powder at his presence?
The earth quaketh, and the foundations thereof; the sea ariseth up with waves from the deep, and the waves of it are troubled, and the fishes thereof also, before the Lord, and before the glory of his power:
For strong is his right hand that bendeth the bow, his arrows that he shooteth are sharp, and shall not miss, when they begin to be shot into the ends of the world.
Behold, the plagues are sent, and shall not return again, until they come upon the earth.
The fire is
kindled, and shall not be put out, till it
consume the foundation of
the earth.
Like as an
arrow which is shot of a mighty archer returneth not backward: even so
the plagues that shall be sent upon earth shall not return again.
The beginning of sorrows and great mournings; the beginning of famine and great death; the beginning of wars, and the powers shall stand in fear; the beginning of evils! what shall I do when these evils shall come?
But for all these things they shall not turn from their wickedness, nor be always mindful of the scourges.
Behold,
victuals shall be so good
cheap upon earth, that
they shall think
themselves to be in good case, and even
then shall evils grow upon earth, sword, famine, and great confusion.
For many of them that dwell upon earth shall perish of famine; and the other, that escape the hunger, shall the sword destroy.
And the dead shall be cast out as dung, and there shall be no man to comfort them: for the earth shall be wasted, and the cities shall be cast down.
There shall be no man left to till
the earth, and to
sow it
The trees shall give fruit, and who shall gather them?
The grapes shall
ripen, and who shall
tread them? for all places shall be
desolate of men:
For of a city there shall be ten left, and two of the field, which shall hide themselves in the thick groves, and in the clefts of the rocks.
As in an
orchard of Olives upon every tree
there are left three or four olives;
Even so in those days there shall be three or four left by them that search their houses with the sword.
And the earth shall be laid waste, and the fields thereof shall wax old, and her ways and all her paths shall grow full of thorns, because no man shall travel therethrough.
The virgins shall
mourn, having no bridegrooms;
the women shall
mourn, having no husbands;
their daughters shall
mourn, having no helpers.
In the wars shall their bridegrooms be destroyed, and their husbands shall perish of famine.
Hear now these things and understand them, ye servants of the Lord.
Behold, the word of the Lord, receive it: believe not the gods of whom the Lord spake.
Behold,
the plagues draw
nigh, and are not
slack.
As when a woman with child in
the ninth month bringeth forth her son, with two or three hours of her birth great pains compass her
womb, which pains, when
the child cometh forth,
they slack not a moment:
Even so shall not
the plagues be
slack to come upon
the earth, and
the world shall
mourn, and sorrows shall come upon it on every side.
O my people, hear my word: make you ready to thy battle, and in those evils be even as pilgrims upon the earth.
He that occupieth
merchandise, as he that hath no profit by it: and he that buildeth, as he that shall not dwell
therein:
He that soweth, as if he should not
reap: so also he that planteth
the vineyard, as he that shall not gather
the grapes:
They that marry, as they that shall get no children; and they that marry not, as the widowers.
And therefore they that labour labour in vain:
For strangers shall
reap their fruits, and
spoil their goods, overthrow
their houses, and take
their children
captives, for in captivity and famine shall
they get children.
And
they that occupy
their merchandise with
robbery,
the more
they deck
their cities,
their houses,
their possessions, and
their own persons:
The more will I be
angry with
them for
their sin, saith
the Lord.
And
therefore be ye not like
thereunto, nor to
the works
thereof.
For yet a little, and iniquity shall be taken away out of the earth, and righteousness shall reign among you.
Let not
the sinner say that he hath not
sinned: for God shall burn coals of fire upon his head, which saith before
the Lord God and his glory, I have not
sinned.
Behold, the Lord knoweth all the works of men, their imaginations, their thoughts, and their hearts:
Which spake but the word, Let the earth be made; and it was made: Let the heaven be made; and it was created.
In his word were the stars made, and he knoweth the number of them.
He searcheth the deep, and the treasures thereof; he hath measured the sea, and what it containeth.
He hath shut
the sea in
the midst of
the waters, and with his word hath he
hanged the earth upon
the waters.
He spreadeth out
the heavens like a
vault; upon
the waters hath he founded it.
In the desert hath he made springs of water, and pools upon the tops of the mountains, that the floods might pour down from the high rocks to water the earth.
He made man, and put his heart in the midst of the body, and gave him breath, life, and understanding.
Yea and
the Spirit of
Almighty God, which made all things, and searcheth out all hidden things in
the secrets of
the earth,
Surely he knoweth your inventions, and what ye think in your hearts, even them that sin, and would hide their sin.
Therefore hath the Lord exactly searched out all your works, and he will put you all to shame.
Behold, God himself is
the judge, fear him: leave off from your sins, and
forget your
iniquities, to
meddle no more with
them for ever: so shall God lead you forth, and deliver you from all trouble.
For, behold,
the burning wrath of a great multitude is
kindled over you, and
they shall take away certain of you, and feed you, being idle, with things offered unto idols.
And
they that consent unto
them shall be had in
derision and in reproach, and
trodden under foot.
For there shall be in every place, and in the next cities, a great insurrection upon those that fear the Lord.
They shall be like
mad men,
sparing none, but still
spoiling and destroying those that fear
the Lord.
For they shall waste and take away their goods, and cast them out of their houses.
Then shall they be known, who are my chosen; and they shall be tried as the gold in the fire.
Hear, O ye my beloved, saith the Lord: behold, the days of trouble are at hand, but I will deliver you from the same.
And
the guide of
them who keep my commandments and precepts, saith
the Lord God: let not your sins
weigh you down, and let not your
iniquities lift up
themselves.
Woe be unto
them that are bound with
their sins, and covered with
their iniquities like as a field is covered over with bushes, and
the path
thereof covered with thorns, that no man may travel through!
It is left undressed, and is cast into
the fire to be consumed
therewith.
The book of
the words of
Tobit, son of Tobiel,
the son of Ananiel,
the son of Aduel,
the son of Gabael, of
the seed of Asael, of
the tribe of Nephthali;
Who in
the time of Enemessar king of
the Assyrians was led
captive out of Thisbe, which is at
the right hand of that city, which is called properly Nephthali in
Galilee above Aser.
I
Tobit have walked all
the days of my life in
the ways of truth and justice, and I did many almsdeeds to my brethren, and my nation, who came with me to Nineve, into
the land of
the Assyrians.
And when I was in mine own country, in
the land of Israel being but young, all
the tribe of Nephthali my father fell from
the house of Jerusalem, which was chosen out of all
the tribes of Israel, that all
the tribes should sacrifice
there, where
the temple of
the habitation of
the most High was consecrated and built for all ages.
Now all
the tribes which together revolted, and
the house of my father Nephthali, sacrificed unto
the heifer Baal.
But I alone went often to Jerusalem at
the feasts, as it was ordained unto all
the people of Israel by an
everlasting decree, having
the firstfruits and tenths of increase, with that which was first
shorn; and
them gave I at
the altar to
the priests
the children of Aaron.
The first tenth part of all increase I gave to the sons of Aaron, who ministered at Jerusalem: another tenth part I sold away, and went, and spent it every year at Jerusalem:
And
the third I gave unto
them to whom it was meet, as Debora my father’s mother had commanded me, because I was left an
orphan by my father.
Furthermore, when I was come to
the age of a man, I married
Anna of mine own kindred, and of her I
begat Tobias.
And when we were carried away
captives to Nineve, all my brethren and those that were of my kindred did eat of
the bread of
the Gentiles.
And
the most High gave me grace and favour before Enemessar, so that I was his
purveyor.
And I went into Media, and left in trust with Gabael, the brother of Gabrias, at Rages a city of Media ten talents of silver.
And in
the time of Enemessar I gave many
alms to my brethren, and gave my bread to
the hungry,
And my clothes to the naked: and if I saw any of my nation dead, or cast about the walls of Nineve, I buried him.
And if
the king
Sennacherib had slain any, when he was come, and fled from
Judea, I buried
them privily; for in his wrath he killed many; but
the bodies were not found, when
they were sought for of
the king.
And when one of
the Ninevites went and
complained of me to
the king, that I buried
them, and
hid myself; understanding that I was sought for to be put to death, I withdrew myself for fear.
Then all my goods were
forcibly taken away, neither was
there any thing left me, beside my wife
Anna and my son Tobias.
And
there passed not five and fifty days, before two of his sons killed him, and
they fled into
the mountains of Ararath; and Sarchedonus his son reigned in his
stead; who appointed over his father’s accounts, and over all his affairs, Achiacharus my brother Anael’s son.
And Achiacharus intreating for me, I returned to Nineve. Now Achiacharus was
cupbearer, and keeper of
the signet, and
steward, and
overseer of
the accounts: and Sarchedonus appointed him next unto him: and he was my brother’s son.
Now when I was come home again, and my wife
Anna was restored unto me, with my son Tobias, in
the feast of
Pentecost, which is
the holy feast of
the seven weeks,
there was a good
dinner prepared me, in
the which I sat down to eat.
And when I saw abundance of meat, I said to my son, Go and bring what poor man
soever thou shalt find out of our brethren, who is mindful of
the Lord; and, lo, I
tarry for
thee.
But he came again, and said, Father, one of our nation is
strangled, and is cast out in
the marketplace.
Then before I had tasted of any meat, I started up, and took him up into a room until the going down of the sun.
Then I returned, and washed myself, and
ate my meat in
heaviness,
Therefore I
wept: and after
the going down of
the sun I went and made a grave, and buried him.
But my neighbours
mocked me, and said, This man is not yet afraid to be put to death for this matter: who fled away; and yet, lo, he burieth
the dead again.
The same night also I returned from
the burial, and
slept by
the wall of my
courtyard, being
polluted and my face was uncovered:
And I knew not that
there were sparrows in
the wall, and mine eyes being open,
the sparrows muted warm dung into mine eyes, and a whiteness came in mine eyes: and I went to
the physicians, but
they helped me not: moreover Achiacharus did
nourish me, until I went into Elymais.
And when she had sent
them home to
the owners,
they paid her wages, and gave her also besides a
kid.
And when it was in my house, and began to cry, I said unto her, From whence is this
kid? is it not
stolen? render it to
the owners; for it is not lawful to eat any thing that is
stolen.
But she replied upon me, It was given for a gift more than
the wages.
Howbeit I did not believe her, but
bade her render it to
the owners: and I was
abashed at her. But she replied upon me, Where are thine
alms and thy righteous deeds? behold, thou and all thy works are known.
Then I being
grieved did
weep, and in my sorrow prayed, saying,
Remember me, and look on me,
punish me not for my sins and ignorances, and
the sins of my fathers, who have
sinned before
thee:
For
they obeyed not thy commandments: wherefore thou hast delivered us for a
spoil, and unto captivity, and unto death, and for a
proverb of reproach to all
the nations among whom we are
dispersed.
And now thy judgments are many and true: deal with me according to my sins and my fathers’: because we have not kept thy commandments, neither have walked in truth before thee.
