chapter 13
1
And
Tobias the elder opening his mouth, blessed the Lord, and said: Thou art great,
O Lord, for ever, and thy kingdom is unto all ages:
2 For thou scourgest, and thou savest: thou leadest
down to hell, and bringest up again: and there is none that can escape thy
hand.
3 Give glory to the Lord, ye children of Israel, and
praise him in the sight of the Gentiles:
4 Because he hath therefore scattered you among the
Gentiles, who know not him, that you may declare his wonderful works, and make
them know that there is no other almighty God besides him.
5 He hath chastised us for our iniquities: and he will
save us for his own mercy.
6 See then what he hath done with us, and with fear and
trembling give ye glory to him: and extol the eternal King of worlds in your
works.
7 As for me, I will praise him in the land of my
captivity: because he hath shewn his majesty toward a sinful nation.
8 Be converted therefore, ye sinners, and do justice
before God, believing that he will shew his mercy to you.
9 And I and my soul will rejoice in him.
10 Bless ye the Lord, all his elect, keep days of joy,
and give glory to him.
11 Jerusalem, city of God, the Lord hath chastised thee
for the works of thy hands.
12 Give glory to the Lord for thy good things, and
bless the God eternal, that he may rebuild his tabernacle in thee, and may call
back all the captives to thee, and thou mayst rejoice for ever and ever.
13 Thou shalt shine with a glorious light: and all the
ends of the earth shall worship thee.
14 Nations from afar shall come to thee: and shall
bring gifts, and shall adore the Lord in thee, and shall esteem thy land as
holy.
15 For they shall call upon the great name in thee.
16 They shall be cursed that shall despise thee: and
they shall be condemned that shall blaspheme thee: and blessed shall they be
that shall build thee up.
17 But thou shalt rejoice in thy children, because they
shall all be blessed, and shall be gathered together to the Lord.
18 Blessed are all they that love thee, and that
rejoice in thy peace.
19 My soul, bless thou the Lord, because the Lord our
God hath delivered Jerusalem his city from all her troubles.
20 Happy shall I be if there shall remain of my seed,
to see the glory of Jerusalem.
21 The gates of Jerusalem shall be built of sapphire,
and of emerald, and all the walls thereof round about of precious stones.
22 All its streets shall be paved with white and clean
stones: and Alleluia shall be sung in its streets.
23 Blessed be the Lord, who hath exalted it, and may he
reign over it for ever and ever, Amen.
