Susanna 1:40-49
-
40 But having taken this woman, we asked who the young man was, but she would not tell us: these things do we testify.
-
41 Then the assembly believed them as those that were the elders and judges of the people: so they condemned her to death.
-
42 Then Susanna cried out with a loud voice, and said, O everlasting God, that knowest the secrets, and knowest all things before they be:
-
43 Thou knowest that they have borne false witness against me, and, behold, I must die; whereas I never did such things as these men have maliciously invented against me.
-
44 And the Lord heard her voice.
-
45 Therefore when she was led to be put to death, the Lord raised up the holy spirit of a young youth whose name was Daniel:
-
46 Who cried with a loud voice, I am clear from the blood of this woman.
-
47 Then all the people turned them toward him, and said, What mean these words that thou hast spoken?
-
48 So he standing in the midst of them said, Are ye such fools, ye sons of Israel, that without examination or knowledge of the truth ye have condemned a daughter of Israel?
-
49 Return again to the place of judgment: for they have borne false witness against her.
