Susanna 1:55-64
-
55 And Daniel said, Very well; thou hast lied against thine own head; for even now the angel of God hath received the sentence of God to cut thee in two.
-
56 So he put him aside, and commanded to bring the other, and said unto him, O thou seed of Chanaan, and not of Juda, beauty hath deceived thee, and lust hath perverted thine heart.
-
57 Thus have ye dealt with the daughters of Israel, and they for fear companied with you: but the daughter of Juda would not abide your wickedness.
-
58 Now therefore tell me, Under what tree didst thou take them companying together? Who answered, Under an holm tree.
-
59 Then said Daniel unto him, Well; thou hast also lied against thine own head: for the angel of God waiteth with the sword to cut thee in two, that he may destroy you.
-
60 With that all the assembly cried out with a loud voice, and praised God, who saveth them that trust in him.
-
61 And they arose against the two elders, for Daniel had convicted them of false witness by their own mouth:
-
62 And according to the law of Moses they did unto them in such sort as they maliciously intended to do to their neighbour: and they put them to death. Thus the innocent blood was saved the same day.
-
63 Therefore Chelcias and his wife praised God for their daughter Susanna, with Joacim her husband, and all the kindred, because there was no dishonesty found in her.
-
64 From that day forth was Daniel had in great reputation in the sight of the people.
