1. Therefore when Tobias thought that his prayer was heard that he might die, he called to him Tobias his son,
2. And said to him: Hear, my son, the words of my mouth, and lay them as a foundation in thy heart.
3. When God shall take my soul, thou shalt bury my body: and thou shalt honour thy mother all the days of her life:
4. For thou must be mindful what and how great perils she suffered for thee in her womb.
5. And when she also shall have ended the time of her life, bury her by me.
6. And all the days of thy life have God in thy mind: and take heed thou never consent to sin, nor transgress the commandments of the Lord our God.
