Tobit 4:17-19

Common English Bible

¹⁷ “Place your bread and wine on the tombs of the righteous, but don’t give anything to sinners.

¹⁸ “Get advice from everyone who is wise, and don’t despise what they say, since all advice is useful.

¹⁹ “At every opportunity praise God and ask him to make all your ways straight and all your activities prosper. No nation has good counsel, but the Lord himself gives good counsel. The Lord will bring down whomever he wishes, even as far as hell below. For this reason, my son, remember these instructions, and don’t let them be erased from your heart.
