Tobit 8:8-18
-
8 And she said with him, Amen.
-
9 So they slept both that night. And Raguel arose, and went and made a grave,
-
10 Saying, I fear lest he also be dead.
-
11 But when Raguel was come into his house,
-
12 He said unto his wife Edna. Send one of the maids, and let her see whether he be alive: if he be not, that we may bury him, and no man know it.
-
13 So the maid opened the door, and went in, and found them both asleep,
-
14 And came forth, and told them that he was alive.
-
15 Then Raguel praised God, and said, O God, thou art worthy to be praised with all pure and holy praise; therefore let thy saints praise thee with all thy creatures; and let all thine angels and thine elect praise thee for ever.
-
16 Thou art to be praised, for thou hast made me joyful; and that is not come to me which I suspected; but thou hast dealt with us according to thy great mercy.
-
17 Thou art to be praised because thou hast had mercy of two that were the only begotten children of their fathers: grant them mercy, O Lord, and finish their life in health with joy and mercy.
-
18 Then Raguel bade his servants to fill the grave.
