Tobit 3:14-16

Common English Bible

¹⁴ You know, Master, that I’m pure from any uncleanness from relations with a man. ¹⁵ You know that I haven’t tarnished my name or my father’s name in this country where we are captives. I’m my father’s only child. He has no other child to be his heir, nor does he have a brother or near relative for whom I can keep myself as a wife. Seven have died on me already, so why should I go on living? And if you don’t like the idea of killing me, take notice, at least, of how they insult me.”
