Tobit 4:13-15

Common English Bible

¹³ “And now, my child, love your relatives and don’t be too proud in your heart to take a daughter from the descendants of your people as your wife. In pride there is much ruin and instability, and laziness results in loss and great poverty, for laziness is the mother of hunger.

¹⁴ “Pay the wages of any person who works with you that same day. Don’t delay to pay a person’s wages, and your own wages will certainly not be withheld if you truly serve God. Keep yourself under control, my child, in everything you do and be disciplined in every aspect of your behavior.

¹⁵ “What you yourself hate, do that to no one. Don’t get drunk with wine, and don’t let drunkards^[a] accompany you on your way.
