Tobit 3:11–15

¹¹So she prayed by her window and said, “Blessed art thou, O Lord my God, and blessed is thy holy and honored name for ever. May all thy works praise thee for ever. ¹²And now, O Lord, I have turned my eyes and my face toward thee. ¹³Command that I be released from the earth and that I hear reproach no more. ¹⁴Thou knowest, O Lord, that I am innocent of any sin with man, ¹⁵and that I did not stain my name or the name of my father in the land of my captivity. I am my father’s only child, and he has no child to be his heir, no near kinsman or kinsman’s^m son for whom I should keep myself as wife. Already seven husbands of mine are dead. Why should I live? But if it be not pleasing to thee to take my life, command that respect be shown to me and pity be taken upon me, and that I hear reproach no more.”
