Tobit 4:13-15

New Catholic Bible

¹³ Therefore, my son, you too must love your kindred; do not disdain them, the sons and daughters of your people, and do not be too proud to take a wife for yourself from among them. Such pride results in ruin and great anxiety. Idleness, too, leads to loss and dire poverty, since idleness is the mother of famine.

¹⁴ “Do not withhold until the following day the wages of those who work for you, but pay them at once. If you serve God, you will be rewarded. Be cautious, my son, in everything that you do, and let your behavior be disciplined. ¹⁵ Do not do to anyone what you yourself hate.^[a] Do not drink wine to excess or allow drunkenness to become your companion on your journey of life.
