Susanna 21-23

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²¹ If you refuse, we will testify against you that a young man was with you, and this was why you sent your maids away.’

²² Susanna groaned and said, ‘I am completely trapped. For if I do this, it will mean death for me; if I do not, I cannot escape your hands. ²³ I choose not to do it; I will fall into your hands, rather than sin in the sight of the Lord.’
