Tobit 14:11-15

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹¹ So now, my children, see what almsgiving accomplishes and what injustice does—it brings death! But now my breath fails me.”

Death of Tobit and Anna

Then they laid him on his bed, and he died, and he received an honorable funeral.^{(A) 12} When Tobias’s mother died, he buried her beside his father. Then he and his wife^[a] returned to Media and settled in Ecbatana with Raguel his father-in-law.^{(B) 13} He looked after his parents-in-law^[b] 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 years. ¹⁵ Before he died he saw and 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] blessed 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.^(C)
