Tobit 6:5-14 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

5. Then the Angel said to him: "Disembowel this fish, and put aside his heart, and his gall, and his liver for yourself. For these things are necessary as useful medicines."

6. And when he had done so, he roasted its flesh, and they took it with them on the way. The rest they salted, so that it might be sufficient for them, until they would arrive at Rages, a city of the Medes.

7. Then Tobias questioned the Angel, and he said to him, "I implore you, brother Azariah, to tell me what remedies these things hold, which you have told me to retain from the fish?"

8. And the Angel, answering, said to him: "If you put a little piece of its heart on burning coals, its smoke will drive away all kind of demons, whether from a man or from a woman, so that they will no longer approach them.

9. And the gall is useful for anointing the eyes, in which there may be a white speck, and they will be cured."

10. And Tobias said to him, "Where do you prefer that we stay?"

11. And the Angel, responding, said: "Here is one named Raguel, a man closely related to you from your tribe, and he has a daughter named Sarah, but he has no other male or female, except her.

12. All his livelihood is dependent upon you, and you ought to take her to yourself in marriage.

13. Therefore, ask for her from her father, and he will give her to you as wife."

14. Then Tobias responded, and he said: "I hear that she has been given to seven husbands, and they passed away. But I have even heard this: that a demon killed them.
