13:23. Blessed be the Lord, who hath exalted it, and may he reign over it for ever and ever, Amen.
Tobias Chapter 14
Old Tobias dieth at the age of a hundred and two years, after exhorting his son and grandsons to piety, foreshewing that Ninive shall be destroyed, and Jerusalem rebuilt. The younger Tobias returneth with his family to Raguel, and dieth happily as he had lived.
14:1. And the words of Tobias were ended. And after Tobias was restored to his sight, he lived two and forty years, and saw the children of his grandchildren.
14:2. And after he had lived a hundred and two years, he was buried honorably in Ninive.
14:3. For he was six and fifty years old when he lost the sight of his eyes, and sixty when he recovered it again.
14:4. And the rest of his life was in joy, and with great increase of the fear of God he departed in peace.
14:5. And at the hour of his death he called unto him his son Tobias and his children, seven young men, his grandsons, and said to them:
14:6. The destruction of Ninive is at hand: for the word of the Lord must be fulfilled: and our brethren, that are scattered abroad from the land of Israel, shall return to it.
14:7. And all the land thereof that is desert shall be filled with people, and the house of God which is burnt in it, shall again be rebuilt: and all that fear God shall return thither.
