Susanna 21-23

Wycliffe Bible

²¹ And if thou wilt not, we shall say witnessing against thee, that a young man was with thee, and for this cause thou sentest out the damsels from thee.

²² And Susanna inwardly sorrowed, and said, Anguishes be to me on each side; for if I do this (thing), death is to me; forsooth if I do (it) not, I shall not escape your hands. [And Susanna inwardly sorrowed, and saith, Anguishes be to me on each side; forsooth if I shall do this thing, death is to me; soothly if I shall not do, I shall not escape your hands.]

²³ But it is better for me to fall into your hands, without work, than to do sin in the sight of the Lord. [But better it is to me for to fall without work into your hands, than for to sin in the sight of the Lord.]
