16:61 He made man, and put his heart in the midst of the body, and gave
him breath, life, and understanding.
16:62 Yea and the Spirit of Almighty God, which made all things, and
searcheth out all hidden things in the secrets of the earth,
16:63 Surely he knoweth your inventions, and what ye think in your
hearts, even them that sin, and would hide their sin.
16:64 Therefore hath the Lord exactly searched out all your works, and
he will put you all to shame.
16:65 And when your sins are brought forth, ye shall be ashamed before
men, and your own sins shall be your accusers in that day.
16:66 What will ye do? or how will ye hide your sins before God and his
angels?
16:67 Behold, God himself is the judge, fear him: leave off from your
sins, and forget your iniquities, to meddle no more with them for ever:
so shall God lead you forth, and deliver you from all trouble.
16:68 For, behold, the burning wrath of a great multitude is kindled
over you, and they shall take away certain of you, and feed you, being
idle, with things offered unto idols.
16:69 And they that consent unto them shall be had in derision and in
reproach, and trodden under foot.
16:70 For there shall be in every place, and in the next cities, a
great insurrection upon those that fear the Lord.
16:71 They shall be like mad men, sparing none, but still spoiling and
destroying those that fear the Lord.
16:72 For they shall waste and take away their goods, and cast them out
of their houses.
16:73 Then shall they be known, who are my chosen; and they shall be
tried as the gold in the fire.
16:74 Hear, O ye my beloved, saith the Lord: behold, the days of
trouble are at hand, but I will deliver you from the same.
16:75 Be ye not afraid neither doubt; for God is your guide,
16:76 And the guide of them who keep my commandments and precepts,
saith the Lord God: let not your sins weigh you down, and let not your
iniquities lift up themselves.
16:77 Woe be unto them that are bound with their sins, and covered with
their iniquities like as a field is covered over with bushes, and the
path thereof covered with thorns, that no man may travel through!
16:78 It is left undressed, and is cast into the fire to be consumed
therewith.
The Book of Tobit
1:1 The book of the words of Tobit, son of Tobiel, the son of Ananiel,
the son of Aduel, the son of Gabael, of the seed of Asael, of the tribe
of Nephthali;
1:2 Who in the time of Enemessar king of the Assyrians was led captive
out of Thisbe, which is at the right hand of that city, which is called
properly Nephthali in Galilee above Aser.
1:3 I Tobit have walked all the days of my life in the ways of truth
and justice, and I did many almsdeeds to my brethren, and my nation,
who came with me to Nineve, into the land of the Assyrians.
