Tobit 8 - Contemporary English Version Interconfessional Edition(CEVDCI)

Tobias Chases Off the Demon

1When everyone had finished eating and drinking, they decided it was time to go to bed, and they brought Tobias to the bedroom.

2Then Tobias remembered what Raphael had told him about the liver and the heart of the fish. So he took them out of the bag where he had kept them, and he put them on the burning incense.

3 said,

“Our God, you are worthy

to be praised for all time

with words that come

from hearts that are pure.

16I offer my praise, because you

have given me happiness—

I expected a tragedy,

but it did not happen.

You had mercy on us

17and on Sarah and Tobias,

the only children

of their parents.

Be merciful to these young people!

Keep them safe and bless them

with happiness.”

18Then Raguel told his servants to fill in the grave before sunrise.

The Wedding Celebration

19Raguel went to his wife and told her to bake a lot of bread. Then he went out to his herd of livestock and brought back two bulls and four rams, and he gave orders for his servants to slaughter them. And so, everyone began preparing for a big celebration.

20 here at least two weeks. You can eat and drink with me, and you can cheer up my daughter, who has gone through some horrible suffering.

21When you leave, you can take half of everything I own and return safely to your father. Then, whenever my wife Edna and I die, you can have the other half as well. Don't worry about a thing, Tobias. From now on, you will be a son to us, and we will care for you as much as we do for our daughter Sarah, your wife.
