Tobit 3:14-16

Revised Standard Version

¹⁴ Thou knowest, O Lord, that I am innocent of any sin with man, ¹⁵ and that I did not stain my name or the name of my father in the land of my captivity. I am my father’s only child, and he has no child to be his heir, no near kinsman or kinsman’s^[a] son for whom I should keep myself as wife. Already seven husbands of mine are dead. Why should I live? But if it be not pleasing to thee to take my life, command that respect be shown to me and pity be taken upon me, and that I hear reproach no more.”
