Tobit 14:13-15
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
13 He treated his parents-in-law[a] with great respect in their old age, and buried them in Ecbatana of Media. He inherited both the property of Raguel and that of his father Tobit. 14 He died highly respected at the age of one hundred seventeen[b] years. 15 Before he died he heard[c] of the destruction of Nineveh, and he saw its prisoners being led into Media, those whom King Cyaxares[d] of Media had taken captive. Tobias[e] praised God for all he had done to the people of Nineveh and Assyria; before he died he rejoiced over Nineveh, and he blessed the Lord God forever and ever. Amen.[f]
