Tobit (longer) 13 (Interlinear Apocrypha)

1And he said Blessed is God that liveth for ever, and his kingdom, For he chastiseth, and showeth mercy. He leadeth down to Hades below the earth, And he bringeth up from the great destruction; And there is nothing that shall escape his hand.

3Give thanks unto him before the Gentiles, ye children of Israel, For he hath scattered you among them,

4And there he hath shown you his greatness; And extol ye him before all the living. Because he is our Lord, and he our God, and he our Father, Yea, he is God to all the ages:

5He will chastise you for your iniquities, And will show mercy unto you all. When ye turn unto him out of all the nations Whithersoever ye shall be scattered, With your whole heart and with your whole soul, to do truth before him, Then he will turn unto you, and will no longer hide his face from you. And now see what he hath wrought with you, And give him thanks with your whole mouth, And bless the Lord of righteousness, And exalt the everlasting King. 〈 I, in the land of my captivity, give him thanks, And show his strength and majesty unto nations of sinners. Turn, ye sinners, and do righteousness before him. Who can tell if he will accept you and have mercy on you?

7I exalt my God, and my soul [ ] shall rejoice in the King of heaven;

8Of his greatness let all men tell, And let them give him thanks in Jerusalem.

9O Jerusalem, thou holy city! he will chastise thee for the works of thy hands, And will again have mercy on the sons of the righteous.

10Give thanks to the Lord with goodness, and bless the everlasting King, 〉 That thy tabernacle may be builded in thee again with joy, And that he may make glad in thee all that are captives, And love in thee all that are miserable and all the generations of eternity.

11A bright light shall shine unto all the ends of the earth; Many nations 〈shall〉 come from afar, And the inhabitants of the utmost ends of the earth unto thy holy name; With their gifts also in their hands unto the King of heaven, Generations of generations shall utter rejoicing in thee, And thy name that is elect unto the generations of eternity.

12Cursed shall be all they that shall speak a hard word; Cursed shall be all they that demolish thee, And throw down thy walls; And all they that overthrow thy towers, And set on fire thy habitations; But blessed shall be all they that fear thee for ever.

13Then go and be exceeding glad for the sons of the righteous: For they all shall be gathered together, And bless the everlasting Lord. Blessed shall they be that love thee; And blessed shall they be That shall rejoice for thy peace: And blessed shall be all the men That shall sorrow for thee For all thy chastisements: Because they shall rejoice in thee And shall see all thy joy for ever. My soul doth bless the Lord the great King;

16For Jerusalem shall be builded again as his house unto all the ages. Happy shall I be if the remnant of my seed come to see thy glory And give thanks unto the King of heaven. And the gates of Jerusalem shall be builded with sapphire and emerald, And all thy walls with precious stone. The towers of Jerusalem shall be builded with gold, And their battlements with pure gold. The streets of Jerusalem shall be paved With carbuncle and stones of Ophir.

18And the gates of Jerusalem shall utter hymns of gladness And all her houses shall say, Halleluiah. Blessed is the God of Israel. And the blessed shall bless the name That is holy for ever and ever.
