13:6. See then what he hath done with us, and with fear and trembling
give ye glory to him: and extol the eternal King of worlds in your
works.
13:7. As for me, I will praise him in the land of my captivity: because
he hath shewn his majesty toward a sinful nation,
13:8. Be converted therefore, ye sinners, and do justice before God,
believing that he will shew his mercy to you.
13:9. And I and my soul will rejoice in him.
13:10. Bless ye the Lord, all his elect, keep days of joy, and give
glory to him.
13:11. Jerusalem, city of God, the Lord hath chastised thee for the
works of thy hands.
Jerusalem... What is prophetically delivered here, and in the following
chapter, with relation to Jerusalem, is partly to be understood of the
rebuilding of the city after the captivity: and partly of the spiritual
Jerusalem, which is the church of Christ, and the eternal Jerusalem in
heaven.
13:12. Give glory to the Lord for thy good things, and bless the God
eternal that he may rebuild his tabernacle in thee, and may call back
all the captives to thee, and thou mayst rejoice for ever and ever.
13:13. Thou shalt shine with a glorious light: and all the ends of the
earth shall worship thee,
13:14. Nations from afar shall come to thee: and shall bring gifts, and
shall adore the Lord in thee, and shall esteem thy land as holy.
13:15. For they shall call upon the great name in thee,
13:16. They shall be cursed that shall despise thee: and they shall be
condemned that shall blaspheme thee: and blessed shall they be that
shall build thee up,
13:17. But thou shalt rejoice in thy children, because they shall all be
blessed, and shall be gathered together to the Lord.
13:18. Blessed are all they that love thee, and that rejoice in thy
peace,
13:19. My soul, bless thou the Lord, because the Lord our God hath
delivered Jerusalem his city from all her troubles.
13:20. Happy shall I be if there shall remain of my seed, to see the
glory of Jerusalem.
13:21. The gates of Jerusalem shall be built of sapphire, and of
emerald, and all the walls thereof round about of precious stones.
13:22. All its streets shall be paved with white and clean stones: and
Alleluia shall be sung in its streets,
13:23. Blessed be the Lord, who hath exalted it, and may he reign over
it for ever and ever, Amen.
Tobias Chapter 14
Old Tobias dieth at the age of a hundred and two years, after exhorting
his son and grandsons to piety, foreshewing that Ninive shall be
destroyed, and Jerusalem rebuilt. The younger Tobias returneth with his
family to Raguel, and dieth happily as he had lived.
14:1. And the words of Tobias were ended. And after Tobias was restored
to his sight, he lived two and forty years, and saw the children of his
grandchildren.
14:2. And after he had lived a hundred and two years, he was buried
honorably in Ninive.
14:3. For he was six and fifty years old when he lost the sight of his
eyes, and sixty when he recovered it again.
14:4. And the rest of his life was in joy, and with great increase of
the fear of God he departed in peace.
