Tobit 1:11

11 but I kept myself from eating it,

Tobit 1:11 In-Context

9 When I became a man I married Anna, a member of our family, and by her I became the father of Tobias.
10 Now when I was carried away captive to Nineveh, all my brethren and my relatives ate the food of the Gentiles;
11 but I kept myself from eating it,
12 because I remembered God with all my heart.
13 Then the Most High gave me favor and good appearance in the sight of Shalmaneser, and I was his buyer of provisions.
