Tobit 4:19
Good News Translation
"Take advantage of every opportunity to praise the Lord your God. Ask him to make you prosper in whatever you set out to do. He does not give his wisdom to the people of any other nation. He is the source of all good things, but he can also destroy you and bring you to certain death, if he wishes. "Remember all my instructions. Don't forget them for one minute.

New Revised Standard Version
At all times bless the Lord God, and ask him that your ways may be made straight and that all your paths and plans may prosper. For none of the nations has understanding, but the Lord himself will give them good counsel; but if he chooses otherwise, he casts down to deepest Hades. So now, my child, remember these commandments, and do not let them be erased from your heart.

Contemporary English Version
Always praise the Lord God and pray for his guidance, so you will be successful in whatever you do. No other nations have understanding, but the Lord can either make them wise or bring them to ruin. My son, be sure to keep in mind everything I have told you to do.
