Tobit 4:13-15

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹³ So now, my son, love your kindred, and in your heart do not be so arrogant against the daughters of the members of your people as to refuse to take one of them as a wife. For in arrogance there is ruin and great confusion, and in idleness there is loss and dire poverty, because idleness is the mother of famine.^(A)

¹⁴ “Do not keep over until the next day the wages of those who work for you, but pay them their wages the same day, and let not the pay of those among you be delayed overnight. Your pay will not be kept over if you serve God faithfully. Watch yourself, my son, in everything you do, and discipline yourself in all your conduct.^{(B) 15} And what you hate, do not do to anyone. May^[a] no evil go with you on any of your way.^(C)
