TOB 4:1  Therefore when Tobias thought that his prayer was heard that he might die, he called to him Tobias his son,

TOB 4:2  And said to him: Hear, my son, the words of my mouth, and lay them as a foundation in thy heart.

TOB 4:3  When God shall take my soul, thou shalt bury my body: and thou shalt honour thy mother all the days of her life:

TOB 4:4  For thou must be mindful what and how great perils she suffered for thee in her womb.

TOB 4:5  And when she also shall have ended the time of her life, bury her by me.

TOB 4:6  And all the days of thy life have God in thy mind: and take heed thou never consent to sin, nor transgress the commandments of the Lord our God.

TOB 4:7  Give alms out of thy substance, and turn not away thy face from any poor person: for so it shall come to pass that the face of the Lord shall not be turned from thee.

TOB 4:8  According to thy ability be merciful.

TOB 4:9  If thou have much give abundantly: if thou have a little, take care even so to bestow willingly a little.

TOB 4:10  For thus thou storest up to thyself a good reward for the day of necessity.

TOB 4:11  For alms deliver from all sin, and from death, and will not suffer the soul to go into darkness.

TOB 4:12  Alms shall be a great confidence before the most high God, to all them that give it.

TOB 4:13  Take heed to keep thyself, my son, from all fornication, and beside thy wife never endure to know a crime.

TOB 4:14  Never suffer pride to reign in thy mind, or in thy words: for from it all perdition took its beginning.

TOB 4:15  If any man hath done any work for thee, immediately pay him his hire, and let not the wages of thy hired servant stay with thee at all.

TOB 4:16  See thou never do to another what thou wouldst hate to have done to thee by another.

TOB 4:17  Eat thy bread with the hungry and the needy, and with thy garments cover the naked.

TOB 4:18  Lay out thy bread, and thy wine upon the burial of a just man, and do not eat and drink thereof with the wicked.

TOB 4:19  Seek counsel always of a wise man.

TOB 4:20  Bless God at all times: and desire of him to direct thy ways, and that all thy counsels may abide in him.

TOB 4:21  I tell thee also, my son, that I lent ten talents of silver, while thou wast yet a child, to Gabelus, in Rages a city of the Medes, and I have a note of his hand with me:

TOB 4:22  Now therefore inquire how thou mayst go to him, and receive of him the foresaid sum of money, and restore to him the note of his hand.
