Common English Bible

⁴¹ but she wouldn’t tell us. To this we swear.”

The assembly believed them because they were the people’s elders and judges. So they sentenced Susanna to death.

⁴² Susanna screamed out: “Eternal God, you know what is hidden; you see everything before it happens. ⁴³ You know they’ve lied in this court about me! Look, I’m going to die, although I didn’t do any of the things these men accuse in their malice!”
