poor man soever thou shalt find out of our brethren,
who is mindful of the Lord; and, lo, I tarry for thee.

Tob 2:3
But he came again, and said, Father, one of our nation is
strangled, and is cast out in the marketplace.

Tob 2:4
Then before I had tasted of any meat, I started up, and took
him up into a room until the going down of the sun.

Tob 2:5
Then I returned, and washed myself, and ate my meat in
heaviness,

Tob 2:6
Remembering that prophecy of Amos, as he said, Your feasts
shall be turned into mourning, and all your mirth into
lamentation.

Tob 2:7
Therefore I wept: and after the going down of the sun I went
and made a grave, and buried him.

Tob 2:8
But my neighbours mocked me, and said, This man is not yet
afraid to be put to death for this matter: who fled away; and

me, Where are thine alms and thy righteous deeds? behold, thou
and all thy works are known.

Tob 3:1
Then I being grieved did weep, and in my sorrow prayed,

Tob 3:2
O Lord, thou art just, and all thy works and all thy ways are
mercy and truth, and thou judgest truly and justly for ever.

Tob 3:3
Remember me, and look on me, punish me not for my sins and
ignorances, and the sins of my fathers, who have sinned before

Tob 3:4
