Tobit 3:14-16

Good News Translation

¹⁴ You know, O Lord, that I'm still a virgin;
    I have never been defiled by a man.
¹⁵ Never have I disgraced myself or my father's name,
    as long as we have lived in this land of exile.
My father has no other child to be his heir,
    and there is no relative^[a] whom I can marry.
I have already lost seven husbands,
    so why should I live any longer?
But if it is not your will to take my life,
    at least show mercy to me.
Don't let me hear those insults again!
        ^[b]
