Tobit 3:7-9

Common English Bible

Sarah’s plight and her prayer to die

⁷ On the same day in Ecbatana of Media, Sarah, Raguel’s daughter, also heard insults from one of her father’s female servants.

⁸ Sarah had been given in marriage to seven husbands; and Asmodeus, an evil demon, killed them before they could lie with her as newlyweds do.^[a] And so the female servant said to her, “You are the one who keeps killing your husbands! See, you have already been given to seven husbands, and you haven’t carried the name of any of them. ⁹ Are you beating us because they have all died? Go with them, and may we never see a son or daughter of yours!”
